In Ubuntu 13.10 the rtbth driver bluetooth worked (I was able to pair with devices, and with "bluez-simple-agent" I was able to transfer files).
Here's the driver that works with ubuntu 13.10, 3.11 kernel:
https://launchpad.net/~barracuda72/+archive/ralink/+files/rtbth-dkms_3.9.3-0ubuntu1~ppa3.tar.gz
With Ubuntu 14.04 and the 3.13 kernel it will not longer work. I've patched the driver according to this page:
http://wirama.web.id/rt3290-bluetooth-rtbth-driver-with-kernel-3-13/
And it can be installed, but the only problem is that pairing isn't possible. Also, I've tested installing Ubuntu 13.10 from scratch and then updating it to 14.04 with the rtbth module installed, or downgrading to 3.11 kernel in Ubuntu 14.04.
Also I've installed the 3.16rc5 kernel, with not luck (I upgraded everything when I had the 3.13 kernel with "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade). The problem persists with every kernel: can't pair with devices. It's the only problem
Here are some info:

How can I send an email to the kernel team, or anything so this can be fixed? It's anonying to have a non working bluetooth.
