For others:

After the above post, I needed to do the following from a terminal under Mint 13 (Maya) to get the stick working:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-get install linux-firmware linux-firmware-nonfree

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe rtl8192cu swenc=1
As the USB Vendor ID & Device ID are not known to the module, we need to declare it live as a new ID.

Code: Select all

 echo "2001 3301" | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id

You can now connect your D-Link DWA-131 the light should come on.

could you add this to your title
rtl8192cu
as some other branded sticks use the same chipset, makes searching for a solution faster.
Thanks
