WUA-1340 not working - but it should!

[infernosoft]

So, my long awaited WUA-1340 D-Link wifi adapter has arrived, and...unfortunately won't work

First off, it didn't work "out of the box", so I tried the following (found on the aircrack website)

Here's what I did....

1. Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add “blacklist rt73usb” as a new line.
2. Reboot

Then,

wget h t t p://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~p_larbig/wlan/rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3.tar.bz2
tar -xjf rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3.tar.bz2
cd rt73-k2wrlz-3.0.3/Module
make

su
make install
modprobe rt73

I did iwconfig and it doesn't show up.

Even when it's plugged in, running lsusb gives me:

Please help me....i'm so lost

Moved thread to Support forum, probably not appropriate to have this in the non working hardware forum when the OP is asking for help to get it to work and until we confirm that it actually cant be made to work.
