I'm using Kubuntu Saucy Salamander 13.10

Hardware - Ralink RT3290 (Asus X501U notebook):

$ lspci -k | tail -n 5

07:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3290 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
        Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e055
        Kernel driver in use: rt2860
07:00.1 Bluetooth: Ralink corp. RT3290 Bluetooth
        Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e056

1) driver from serialmonkey project (comes with kernel) does not work fine - i get connections drop
2) driver from vendor (Ralink, DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508) works but only with old kernel (3.2.0-24-generic )

2.1) kernels 3.11.0-7-generic / 3.9.0-7-generic ,  kernel macros are removed as suggested  in #76,
        Ralink driver compiles fine  but after  reboot and  surfing web for half hour  i get kernel panic
2.2)  kernel 3.5.0-40 - Ralink driver compiles fine but i get again kernel panic with Ralink driver

2.3) 3.2.0-24-generic  - Ralink driver works fine, but i still have a
lot of messages in the kernel log:

RT3290_AsicTxAlcGetAutoAgcOffset: Incorrect desired TSSI or current TSSI


My config for Ralink (DPO_RT3290_LinuxSTA_V2600_20120508) driver:
