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 <code>modprobe -r rt3290sta<\/code>. 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 <code>rfkill<\/code> and nothing was blocked. So then I tried compiling the drivers again after <code>make clean<\/code> first.
