[Bug 1049466] Re: Need support of Ralink RT3290 wifi support

 

was working fine on Ubuntu 16.04 and also on 16.10 before last updates. After last updates on 16.10 the wifi dropdown menu is empty. no way to connect. i'm writing from 16.04, i will go back to 16.10 to prepare some doc. I have 16.04 and 16.10 on different partitions of same laptop HP250. If i start with 16.10 i see no wifi; then if i do restart and reboot on 16.04 i still have no wifi. to have wifi i must shutdown-poweroff and restart with 16.04 or 14.04. 
Please specify what doc is needed.
