Wifi problems after Updates

[ralphy]

I experienced a similar issue with a friend's HP... This helped me.

The download link for 16.04 is http://www.mediafire.com/file/zyfql95clz...u16.tar.gz

This is basically what it comes down to:

*If you update Linux kernel, you will have to run the following commands from the RT3290_u16 directory to compile and install the driver for new kernel:

Code:

./compile.sh
sudo ./install.sh

*If you do not see Wi-Fi network, you may need to activate it manually by executing the following command from RT3290_u16 folder or reboot computer:

Code:

sudo ./activate-net-rt

(the link in the site is hijacked and takes you to shady sites) so download from the mediafire link I provided above.

Good luck.
