Installing D-Link DWA-131 (13.10)
I found this thread:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/439901/how-do-i-install-a-d-link-dwa-131
But it has been closed. One comment referred to this guide:
http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/277-ubuntu-precise-dwa-131-rev-b1
But it doesn't work.
To begin, the guide is for this:
package barcode showing H/W Ver.:B1 F/W Ver.:2.00
But my package has
package barcode showing H/W Ver.:B1 F/W Ver.:2.01
As for the vendor ID of
2001 and Device ID 330d
I can't see either of those numbers on the box or in the example shown in the guide.
Next, the guide talks about updating the kernel but the kernel I am running is already higher:
My kernel
Linux connor 3.11.0-19-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Tue Mar 11 18:48:34 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
My version
connor@connor:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 13.10
Release: 13.10
Codename: saucy
When I do the next step sudo modprobe rtl8192cu swenc=1
there's no output
Then the next echo "2001 330D" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id
this is the output
2001 330D
My lsusb
Bus 003 Device 006: ID 2001:330d D-Link Corp.
I've also been trying this thread
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2200493&page=2&p=12978483#post12978483
I did the driver update instruction, it seemed to update but when I reboot still no light coming on the USB device
Next I try this command
lsmod
iwconfig
ifconfig -a
cat /etc/resolv.conf
This is the output

Does anyone know how to get this device working?
Update:
lsusb output, with/without USB modem attached (difference only)
connor@connor:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 013: ID 2001:330d D-Link Corp.
dmesg output, last 20 lines
Am on 14.04 with same DWA131-B1 adapter, used this driver (follow instructions there) and added 8192cu to /etc/modules
and
echo "2001 330D" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id
to /etc/rc.local
(note that this still uses the 'rtl') as per this so far stable and fast without swenc=1
