I got a new laptop recently, but it's WiFi(RT3290LE) is not working. I tried solutions from various sources and they are not working.
I tried to install rt3290sta-dkms from the AUR. When I load the module, first the network-manager crashes with a segmentation fault, then it complains about no file read method a couple of times, then sends an oops message to report a pagefault, and finally prints "RT3290_AsicTxAlcGetAutoAgcOffset: Incorrect desired TSSI or current TSSI" every 4 seconds. I have never debugged kernel code before. Here is a detailed report of what I have found out. I am stuck here and needs some help.
I run Arch linux and the kernel in use is 4.3.3-2-ARCH. When I load the module, these are the first lines that appear in the dmesg:
[ 40.077355] rt3290sta: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
[ 40.077359] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
[ 40.079739] register rt2860The first two lines are just a warning, but I wonder why it is "register"ing rt2860. The next few lines:
[ 40.079912]

[ 40.079922] <-- RTMPAllocTxRxRingMemory, Status=0
[ 40.079958] <-- RTMPAllocAdapterBlock, Status=0indicate that the module rt2860 is being loaded because the functions `RTMPAllocTxRxRingMemory` and `RTMPAllocAdapterBlock` are defined for this module. I am guessing that this module handles my 3290LE chip as well because there is a directory called `chips` in the src directory with the file `rt3290.c`. From there everything looks ok until:

I get no networking, no command involving sudo works, I can't stop those commands by Ctrl-C/Z, and the DE crashing. Also the shutdown of the system takes forever. The following is printed to the dmesg output ever 4 seconds:

Apologies for the looong question but any help appreciated. I cant't live without WiFi! :-(
**Update:** Doing a bit more research about the call trace, the below two lines:

From the wiki on the rt3290
The rt3290 chipset is recognised by the kernel rt2800pci module. However, some users experience problems and reverting to a patched Ralink driver seems to be beneficial in these cases.
However given the issues you are encountering with the out of tree driver does removing it and using the in tree rt2800pci module improve the situation?

I was using it at first. Though it discovered APs nearby, I had poor range and the connection dropped out every now and then. It finally toally gave up on me.
