Welcome Alimao,

From what I can tell the Dwa-140 works with the rt2870usb driver.
It is not included in VL6, you would need to compile and install it. Here are some links:

It may be necessary to blacklist the rt2800usb module to avoid conflicts.

THX a lot and for the quick reply... i will try it later and let u know if i had luck to put it working.

Vector Linux it's cool and light SO. i'll already tried a few another with no luck.

Xubuntu taked upto 9h to install on my old timer laptop. VL 6 SD taked just simple 5 houres:)

VL6 Light is not working i don't know why my screen becomes strange and i was not able to take any action with the mouse. so i installed the SD version and saw the issue with the USB drivers.

Sorry it didn't work for you. Kudos for the valient try, though. Keep VL in mind for the future, other hardware will probably do much better.
