Did you use the Realtek link on this first comment on this thread?

I used this link and installed the RTL8192SU mac OS X 10.8 driver. I installed it but it wont open.

It is the same link, although the thing to be careful of is the correct software is RTL8192SU, which is well down the page - is it possible that you have installed the wrong one, that is the only thing that would seem to make sense - it will not open if it does not detect the correct hardware.

Try removing the offending drivers and download from RTL8192SU section.

Im sure i installed the right version, but im not sure if it detects the USB dongel as it doesn't light up as it should do when its working. I get no WiFi icon in the menu bar either, and there is no option for enabling WiFi in the networks preference window and the DWA 131 doesn't show up in the list. Do you think i need to install some usb or WiFi kexts to get it to work?

You should not have to install anything else - is it a REV A1 as was mentioned in the thread I linked to? You should be getting the D-Link wireless network utility coming up on screen every time you reboot (see post #6)

Hmm? You have it plugged into a USB2 socket and not a USB3 socket. I can't think of anything else that might be causing a problem unless there is a driver conflict with something else. I am running out of ideas too.

Yes, i dont have any USB3 sockets.

OK, sorry more questions.

When it downloaded, did it download into download folder and open automatically, or did you have to manually open the package? Can you run through the process to install drivers?
