OlaJi, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  1814:3090 RT3090 Wireless don't get activated when switching kernel
  version.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am running Release 12.10 (quantal) 64-bit with kernel
  Linux  3.5.0-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 8 21:47:00 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux.

  When I update the kernel version, now last time from 3.5.0-21 to
  3.5.0-22, my wireless interface don't get activated.

  The wifi interface is a Ralink corp. RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R
  PCIe and I suppose the driver kernel module is rt2800pci.

  I've tried to do

  $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-firmware-nonfree

  over a wired connection to no avail, the wifi interface will still not
  load.

  The only way that I've found to get the the WiFi working again after
  kernel update (this has happened at previous updates also) is to boot
  the computer into Windows 7 and then reboot it to Ubuntu and the WiFi
  comes back.

  Now I experience the same problem when updating to kernel 3.5.0-24
