[Bug 1252962] Re: Ralink RT3290 not working in Saucy

** Description changed:

  RT3290 wifi will not connect in 13.10 with wpa on. By removing security
  a connection is achieved but it is poor signal and drops out after 5-10
  minutes. Trying in 13.04 results in a connection which stays up even
  with wpa so this is a regression. Even in 13.04 performace is very poor
- (signal strength, speed) compared to W8.
