What version of Ubuntu? Support for this chip uses rt2800 and firmware has been added in Ubuntu since version 14.04 and should work without any additional driver or firmware.

/lib/firmware/rt3290.bin
Please confirm which version of Ubuntu and if rt3290.bin exists on your filesystem. Also check "sudo ifconfig" for a list of network devices on your system.
