My wireless used to work decently but since a couple of days ago I've been having issues with it not connecting and/or causing hard freezes.
$ lspci | grep Wireless
09:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
$ uname -a
Linux hp250g3 4.4.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 10 07:38:19 CET 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Some old BBS posts recommend the rt3290sta-dkms package but it did not help.
Anybody out there with the same issue?

I get a bunch of the above. I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.

Thanks mate. Will try that and report back.

No dice.
1) The modules were already blacklisted, as the package st3290sta-dkms automatically blacklists them.
$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ralink.conf
#Wireless drivers conflicting with rt3290sta
blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2x00pci
This prevents the freezes, but does not bring me online.
2) AFAIK, dkms does not need systemd enabling anymore.
3) I have reinstalled st3290sta-dkms, but nothing changes.
I still can bring the module up and down but cannot connect.
$ ip link
...

$ sudo iw dev eno1 link
Not connected.
$ sudo iw dev eno1 scan
command failed: No such device (-19)
Now though I get this interesting message:
$ dmesg | grep rt3290
[ 9.113565] rt3290sta: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
I am not sure now whether this is a problem with my card or with the drivers themselves.

Still investigating, but updating anyone here with two recent apparently relevant posts:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207029
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=204320
Not solutions though. It looks like a kernel problem.

Give it a shot with -lts and see if that changes anything.
Is you wireless interface really called eno1? That sounds more like the wired one.
Offline
Wireless interface used to be called wlo1 but when I installed the rt3290sta drives it changed name. No idea why.
EDIT: Using the linux-lts brings back the connectivity:
1) Install linux-lts
2) Create new boot entry for linux-lts
3) Remove the rt3290sta-dkms package
4) Remove or rename /etc/modprobe.d/ralink-blacklist.conf
5) Reboot into linux-lts and surf

Hi.
I encountered the same problem yesterday after upgrading my system.
My computer is hp dv6 7301tx using rt3290.
rt2800pci and rt2x00pci are in my blacklist as well.
So I just simply input "sudo modprobe rt2800pci"
Everything runs great now. ^_^ Good luck!

Hi Vincent, are you using the linux stock kernel or linux-lts?
Are you using the rt3290sta-dkms AUR package?
EDIT: Nevermind. I have just tried to boot back into the stock linux kernel and everything works. I have blacklisted rt2x00pci just in case as Vincent suggests.

Trying rt3290sta-dkms from AUR... but doesn't work.
Installing linux-lts (4.1), with and without rt3290sta-dkms... without success
Now my device is gone (?!?!?!) :
~ % dmesg | grep rt3290
...
~ % rfkill list
...
~ % cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ralink.conf
#Wireless drivers conflicting with rt3290sta
blacklist rt2800pci
blacklist rt2x00pci
~ % uname -a

Don't know what to do now

The rt3290sta-dkms package never worked for me, too. Have you deblacklisted rt2800?
Mine (linux-4.4.5-1) works, but signal is very weak even next to router.
I am typing this 3 meters away from the router and signal is <60%.

No, didn't try to deblacklist rt2800...
After many reboots, i 've got this on dmesg:
RT3290_AsicTxAlcGetAutoAgcOffset: Incorrect desired TSSI or current TSSI
Offline
Try removing rt3290sta-dkms and deblacklisting rt2800.
Go next to router and try to connect.
