Hi chilskater.

Your RT3290 is very spotty on Linux and Ralink don't seem to want to help. Users have found workaround that work for some, but not all. Here's a post on this forum that provides one "solution": viewtopic.php?f=49&t=172945&start=20#p1278925

Earlier in that same thread there is another link for different steps to follow, but it's all a crapshoot and I for one wouldn't be able to tell you how to undo what those steps do to your system.

You might want to consider a dongle for your bluetooth needs such as this one that has positive reviews including from at least one user of Mint.
