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?**
