[ubuntu-uk] Wireless in 13.04

[Rowan Berkeley]

Hi,

I posted a message to the effect that the procedure for reinstalling the 
Ralink RT3290 wireless driver, which worked on 12.10, doesn't work after 
online upgrade to 13.04. Since posting that, I found an online report at 
askubuntu.com which gave the exact same error messages as mine:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/285163/ralink-rt3290-cant-be-installed

I have found that the best solution is to put a copy of the 64-bit 
version of 13.04 on a USB stick then do a complete reinstall from the 
stick. If you do this, the Ralink RT3290 wireless driver will be found 
and configured correctly and permanently. But not when you use the 
online upgrade from the Ubuntu site. This is similar to the problem I 
had with the boot protect in UEFI BIOS. There also, the USB stick with 
the 64-bit version was the answer.
