I don't have this adapter, in theory the installation should be so;

Download the Linux driver in:
[url]ftp://files.dlink.com.au/products/DWA-131/REV_E/Drivers/[/url]

To Install:
Go to Downloads folder, right click on the downloaded file (DWA-131_linux_driver_v4.3.1.zip) and unzip here it;
You will see two files, a 20140812_rtl8192EU_linux_v4.3.1.1_11320.tar.gz compressed file and a readme.txt.
Open a terminal there (in Downloads folder), with right click and choose open a terminal here, then, type into the terminal, or copy/paste the following codes;

Code: Select all

tar zxvf 20140812_rtl8192EU_linux_v4.3.1.1_11320.tar.gz
Hit Enter key

Code: Select all

cd to 20140812_rtl8192EU_linux_v4.3.1.1_11320
Hit Enter key

Code: Select all

make
Hit Enter key

Code: Select all

su
enter your password

Code: Select all

make install
All done!

To activate the module of your wireless usb, open a terminal and type;

Code: Select all

sudo insmod 8192eu.ko
enter your password

Try to surf in internet.

Some doubts, look at;
Readme.txt, read it
