No joy with DWA-131 revB1

[chevymoon]

Through forum and web searches I believe this device uses the rtl8192cu driver, but I have not found the solution for getting it working properly. There may not be one...

lsusb gives me:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 2001:330d D-Link Corp.

relevant /etc/conf.d/net:

modules="wpa_supplicant"
wpa_supplicant_wlan4="-Dwext"
wpa_supplicant_wlan0="-Dwext"
#wpa_timeout_wlan1=15
modules_wlan4="dhcp"
modules_wlan0="dhcp"

wpa_supplicant:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
ssid="xxxxxxx"
psk="xxxxxxx"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
proto=WPA2
pairwise=CCMP
group=CCMP
}


relevant kernel .config:

CONFIG_RTLWIFI=m
CONFIG_RTLWIFI_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_RTL8192CE=m
CONFIG_RTL8192SE=m
CONFIG_RTL8192DE=m
CONFIG_RTL8723AE=m
CONFIG_RTL8188EE=m
CONFIG_RTL8192CU=m
CONFIG_RTL8192C_COMMON=m

cuyahoga linux # uname -r
3.10.7-gentoo


Of course, I use the term "relevant" loosely. I'm sure I could be overlooking something.

I haven't tried the realtek website drivers yet. The kernel versions for which it seems to apply are outdated.

Any thoughts?

yikes. I included some rather sensitive information in the original post.

Anyway, maybe a better question is whether or not anyone has this adapter working. Some posts on the web suggest that they do, while others suggest that it won't work on a 64-bit system (which I have, by the way).
