I've been trying to get my wireless working for two weeks now. I have 1814:3290 wireless card. I am on Linux Mint 14 64-bit. I have tried all the suggestion on here:https://askubuntu.com/questions/240553/how-do-i-install-ra3290-bin-wireless-driver-into-lib-firmwarehttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104129https://askubuntu.com/questions/240553/how-do-i-install-ra3290-bin-wireless-driver-into-lib-firmwareI updated my kernel to 3.8.5-030805-generic. The first thing I tried was compiling the drivers (using original kernel 3.5.0-17-generic). When I compiled and installed, my wireless worked, but, I kept getting kernel panics every time I logged in. So I modprobe -r rt3290sta. After that I tried updating the kernel to the one I have now and copying the bin file. The kernel saw the wireless card but it was not active or anything. I checked rfkill and nothing was blocked. So then I tried compiling the drivers again after make clean first. Now when I try to compile the drivers I get this:/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:43:23: error: expected =, ,, ;, asm or __attribute__ before rt2860_remove_one/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:44:22: error: expected =, ,, ;, asm or __attribute__ before rt2860_probe/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:63:46: error: expected =, ,, ;, asm or __attribute__ before __devinitdata/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:85:17: error: rt2860_pci_tbl undeclared here (not in a function)/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:86:17: error: rt2860_probe undeclared here (not in a function)/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:88:5: error: implicit declaration of function __devexit_p [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:88:29: error: rt2860_remove_one undeclared here (not in a function)/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:292:24: error: expected =, ,, ;, asm or __attribute__ before rt2860_probe/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:463:23: error: expected =, ,, ;, asm or __attribute__ before rt2860_remove_one/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.c:71:1: error: __mod_pci_device_table aliased to undefined symbol rt2860_pci_tblcc1: some warnings being treated as errorsmake[2]: *** [/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux/../../os/linux/pci_main_dev.o] Error 1make[1]: *** [_module_/home/dis/Downloads/DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508/os/linux] Error 2make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.5-030805-generic'make: *** [LINUX] Error 2Everything is up to date also. I'm not sure where to go from here. Maybe I should downgrade my kernel to 3.6 or 3.7? Edit: So I downgrade my kernel to 3.7.2 and recompiled the drivers. The kernel sees my wireless card but doesn't really seem to work and everything freezes. Going to try kernel 3.6.Edit2: After more testing I found out that 3.7.2 and 3.6.11 both give me kernel panics after installing the wireless driver.Edi3: I installed 3.7.11 and compiled and installed the wireless drivers. Wireless worked for 3 seconds and then had a kernel panic. 
RT3290 Wireless still not working
