D-Link dwa123 uses Ralink RT3370.
I think that rt2800usb driver is supporting it.

https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb

When searching and compiling the latest driver source, Or when installing latest Firmware,it may work.

Latest driver is here.

When seeing dmesg, you may be able to find a countermeasure.

I could use now RT3070 to modify a driver source.

I have the very same wifi adapter.
With armbian 5.14, it was detected but it doesnt even light up.
Then, I compiled a new driver.

1. sudo rmmod 8188eu
   
2. git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
   
3. cd rtl8188eu
   
4. make ARCH=arm
   
5. sudo make install

Copy code

With the new driver the adapter light up and working.
But I cant connect to my wifi, It show very weak signal eventhough its just beside the modem.
I got tired and frustrated... I gave up for now.

At least the adapter is working and show a result with iwconfig
