How to set up D-LINK DWA-111 USB WLAN Adapter?

Question

I can get it to work in regular webpage following examples found in this forum.

But trying to take action when user checks or unchecks (clicks or changes) a checkbox on any of 25 infoWindows ... cannot figure out any selector to make it work ...

//
// latest test code (based on research in  this forum)

     $(document).ready(function(){
        $('input[type=checkbox]').click(function(){
          if($(this).is(':checked')){
           // alert($(this).attr('id'));  
              alert ("checked");
         }   
        else {alert("unchecked");}
         });
       });

         var markers = [];

        myLatlng=new google.maps.LatLng("-4.293099","55.699843");
        var marker = new google.maps.Marker(
            {icon:'http://mosttraveledpeople.com/beach/beachicon_red32.png',
         position: myLatlng,
         map: map,

         events:
             {
            mouseout: function(){ infoWindo.close(); }
           } 
        } 
      );

             var infoWindowContent = "<table border='0' style='background-color: white'><tr><td><img src='http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/05/76/76/ab/anse-lazio.jpg' height='80'></td><td>Anse Lazio, Praslin Island, Seychelles<br><form id='upbeach6' name='upbeach6' action='#' method='post' onSubmit='return false;'><input type='hidden' name='beachid' value='6'>Visited: <input type='checkbox' name='flag6' id='flag6' value='Y'></input></form></td></tr></table?>";

D-Link Systems DWA-111 802.11bg Wireless Adapter - [Ralink RT2571W]

Possible solutions:

(1.) How do I get a Ralink RT3060 wireless card working? (for 12.04)

Option 1. Try installing the latest compat-wireless backports package and see if it works ..

Option 2. Build and install Ralink's own drivers ..

(2.) Load the device-firmware drivers (to load firmware to device)

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

lsusb has to list it anyway, try lsusb -v. Sometimes the vendor name differs from that is shown in windows. Check the IDs.

OK, just experienced a very weird behaviour of lsusb I just ran it several times and the 4th time I executed it, it showed the D-LINK device. But then, running lsusb a 5th time is disappeared again. (I'll add the output of lsusb above.)

[grimpitch]

The disappearing device can be a power management thing, but still, it shouldn't disappear from the device list completely. Look for traces about that in the /var/log/syslog, /var/log/dmesg, and /var/log/pm-powersave.log. The kernel driver for this device is the rt73usb module, load it with sudo modprobe rt73usb. Also make sure that the linux-firmware package is installed.

Thank you @grimpitch . I found some information about the error in /var/log/syslog. I will soon add the output above as well.

I suspect the device is failing.

[ch.bailey]

Which, of course is not completely impossible but would be a bit strange if it runs perfectly fine using a machine running Win7. Is there any way to clarify this point? (I will try to test the stick on some other computers tomorrow.)

have you try with another version of jquery? eg. 1.11.2

Please provide a Minimal, Complete, Tested and Readable example in your question itself.

[ch.bailey]

well, I tried all these steps but none works. Which also would lead to the conclusion that the device is broken - but as I tested it one more time on a Windows 7 machine and it worked I can say, that it's fully functional there. Just keeps disappearing again and again on my Ubuntu machine.

Look at other RaLink issues on this forum. Click on that tag (below your question).

Yes! Thank you so much. I got it to work using your code. Now I need to change it to actually do the ajax update call I need (instead of just alert :-) , but that is for another post if I get stuck... you rock! (and I will slowly keep learning)
