Here's a DKMS package containing patched proprietary driver for RT3290,
tested and working with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on kernel 3.13.0-24:

 Install:
 --------

 2. Run
	sudo dkms install -m rt3290sta -v 2.6.0.0 --force
 3. Reboot

If this bug is fixed in rt2800pci (highly unlikely)

	sudo dkms remove rt3290sta/2.6.0.0 --all
 2. Reboot
