Dear Larry,
The driver rtl8192cu is for the RTL8192CU/RTL8188CU chips. The DWA-131
contains an RTL8192SU chip. It cannot be driven by rtl8192cu - it will never
work.
On my TODO list is the preparation of a driver named rtl8192su, but since
r8712u works, the priority is low. I'm much more interested in getting the
drivers for the RTL8192SE and RTL8192DE chips into the kernel. Note that
rtl8192su will share a lot of code with rtl8192se in the same fashion that
rtl8192ce and rtl8192cu share routines.
When I prepared the r8712u driver for staging, I did not worry about the LED,
which is why it doesn't blink. What kind of LED action do you prefer. Some
users only want the LED on when the interface is active and complain when it
blinks. Others want it to blink when transmitting.

Thank you for descriptive answer!
Is there any way to detect Realtek chipset type by some means like lsusb or else?
For my DWA-130, lsusb outputs the following
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 07d1:3300 D-Link System DWA-130 802.11n Wireless N
Adapter(rev.E) [Realtek RTL8192SU]
The descriptive info is in file /usr/share/usb.ids and available on-line at
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids.
