As this machine has the RT3290 wifi dkms, this is not the same issue as
bug 1049466.

This is caused by dkms build failure:

In file included from /var/lib/dkms/oem-wireless-rt2x00-1044172/20120910compatwirelessstella6/build/include/linux/compat-2.6.h:64:0,

include/linux/slab.h:243:21: note: previous definition of ‘kmalloc_array’ was here

kmalloc_array was only introduced in 3.2.0-55.85 by commit 33c8356c.

Title:
  1814:3290 [HP 650 Notebook PC] Kernel 3.2.0-55 is missing driver
  rt2800pci for Ralink RT3290 Wireless (unclaimed)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  On a Notebook HP 650 with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit i received updates for kernel 3.2.0-55-generic (exactly 3.2.0-55.85)
  and starting the notebook with that kernel results in unavailable connection, no wifi.

  Starting from grub with previous kernel (3.2.0-54.82) solve the issue.

  in short:

  with 3.2.0-55 kernel, wireless is UNCLAIMED

  with previous kernel 3.2.0-54 is working properly and "sudo lshw -C
  network" from terminal report:

  PCIe  in future kernel release

  thanks.
