What I did to generate this information:

* I unplugged my usb-wifi adapter
* Rebooted the computer
* Ran the script
* Plugged in the usb-wifi adapter
* Pasted output to question.

About the drivers I could find:

* I have tried the dropbox link but it doesn't work probably because of the `-BT` extension (would be my best guess - but `make` failed really bad and when that happens I have no clue what step B is).
* I have succefully installed the driver at <https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new>. I installed it with the following steps:

	+ `make`
	+ `sudo make install`
	+ `sudo modprobe rtl8723ae`

The wifi does 'turn on' but `iwlist scan wlan0` returns `No scan results`.

I have to say I'm not really a rocket scientist when it comes to wireless drivers but I would love to see it work. Thanks for any help and if you need more information please comment on this question and don't be a dick.

**Updates**

* 2015-12-14 | Removed some of the routers listed in the script above + [fixed the problem!](https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/78#event-491333324)
* 2015-12-12 | Did a git pull as suggested in github issue. Also no effect since the only changes made were to the `rtl8723be` and not `rtl8723ae` driver.
* 2015-12-12 | Put laptop really close to the router had no effect
* 2015-12-08 | updated the wireless script without the usb wifi attached.
* 2015-12-08 | Replied to a similair question on github: <https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/issues/34>
* 2015-12-08 | ndiswrapper is not the culprit - updated the wireless script with the usb wifi attached.
* 2015-12-08 | Will try the answer for ndiswrapper tonight.
* 2015-12-08 | Also tried the `rock` and `troy` branches from the lwfinger github repo. No success yet.
* 2015-12-07 | Updated the `wireless_script` result
* 2015-12-06 | Succesfully installed rtlwifi and modprobed it from github link above - still it doesn't find any router..
