Driver not working for me - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on Linux Kernel 4.4.0-197 x64

[cparke2]

It compiles and installs fine. There are a few seemingly harmless compile warnings, but otherwise it looks good... The only warning that potentially concerns me is:

WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_LICENSE() in /home/chris/RT28XX-RT539X-Linux-driver-master/os/linux/rt5390sta.o

I assume that's normal?

After following all the instructions to install it into the kernel without restarting the computer:

sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe -rfv rt2800pci
sudo modprobe -v rt5390sta

Nothing! There simply are no wireless adapters available (link not ready). The driver therefore seems to just refuse to load for my card, almost like it was the wrong driver. Same thing if I add the blacklists and re-boot, there is no wireless network card visible.

My full wireless info report: (using default rt2800pci) here: https://termbin.com/m00z (using default rt5390sta) here: https://termbin.com/54ucb

lspci info:

2f:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Ralink corp. RT5392 PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [1814:5392]
    Subsystem: Ralink corp. RT5392 PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [1814:f053]
    Kernel modules: rt2800pci, rt5390sta

This is the same behavior as when I tried the rt3290sta from @pkeeper here on GitHub. MediaTek only has the Windows driver posted for this card. I just don't understand what the problem could be! Everything indicates these drivers should work with my card, but they don't! The problem with the rt2800pci driver is the wifi connection is very slow, and that is not the behavior with this same hardware under the official Windows drivers.

Any ideas how to figure out what's wrong? Or what else to try to make it work? Really disappointing.

Same thing happens to me
