Title:
  Wireless with RT3090 chipset does not work in Precise Pangolin

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have a Sony Vaio laptop with an rt3090 wifi adapter built-in.

  It does not work in Precise Pangolin Beta.

  In older versions of Ubuntu, I was able to use a PPA which repackaged the manufacturer's drivers.
  To get it to work, I also had to blacklist a series of drivers in Ubuntu.

  These are no longer being packaged and the source as supplied does not
  compile against 3.x kernels.

  The driver source is here

  The PPA is here

  I have tried mainline kernel v3.4 rc2 and it works!!!
