At the moment I'm running Gentoo and I have working rt3290 wifi and
bluetooth support. These drivers are originally from ralinktech.com so
I'm talking about the same rt3290sta. For bluetooth support I've build
rtbth  with some minor changes in order to support recent kernels. My
kernel is 4.1.15 so it should work with recent ubuntu releases.

rt3290 (it should be the same from this thread, two years old, but still works for me, as is): 
https://github.com/pkeeper/rt3290sta

rtbth (it has dkms.conf so to build it in Ubuntu should be straight forward):
https://github.com/alinefr/rtbth 

I'm still waiting for upstream support so we wouldn't need to rely on
old manufacturer buggy drivers but for now it does the trick.
