All about the firmware. On Linuxmint 17.3 it's locate in firmware directory on 
/lib/firmware/ and file is rt3290.bin - but firmware is not an kernel module...
in fact several kernel in system use for that, then wlan (wifi) may work. 

In case hybrid (wlan|bluetooth) card the firmware must fit to version of the hardware.
So If version of the hardware is different then firmware located in rt3290.bin must by lite differentia. So we have one question, how manny version of hybrid card Ralink (Mediatek) 
created?
