Hello,
I am on openSUSE 12.3 with kernel 3.7.10-1.4-desktop, i wanted to try out the proprietary drivers for Ralink RT3290 so i downloaded the drivers from http://www.mediatek.com/_en/07_downloads/01_windows.php?sn=501 and compiled the drivers as mentioned on my thread here : https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/wireless/486975-rt3290-wireless-proprietary-drivers-not-working.html#post2557514. Everything compiled fine, openSUSE was able to scan and connect to access points after installation, but when i access the internet a kernel panic occurs after ~5sec (time varies based on the data usage). So i humbly request you to please provide the solution for the same, you can reach me through email or reply to my thread (probably faster as i don't check my email everyday).
You'll have to contact Mediatek about the drivers that you downloaded from their web site.
None of us on this mailing list have created this driver, nor are we supporting it.
Note that the standard kernel does contain support for the RT3290 chipset in its rt2x00 driver since kernel version 3.6 or 3.7, so you might give that a try.

The drivers work in kernel 3.2 but stop working from either kernel ver.
3.3, 3.4 or 3.5.
The drivers included in the kernel work, but they are a buggy, have low
range, connection drops etc.
I switched from Linux mint 13 kernel 3.2, installed the proprietary
driver and it is way better than rt2800pci drivers interms of signal
strength, latency, speed etc. I think the proprietary drivers use
rt2860pci driver instead of a dedicated rt3290sta driver.
Can the drivers included in the kernel be tweaked to match the
proprietary driver?
Can the future kernels support the drivers?
