I have updated headers and updated Kali to the fullest extent (I believe)

The wireless driver I have identified I believe is 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8723 but it is not identified as wlan0

I have a Sager NP 6370 laptop, the windows driver would be "Integrated Realtek Wireless 802.11 B/G/N + Bluetooth Combo Driver" I tried using a guide somewhere online but I could not get ndiswrapper to even work it hangs at connecting

Now, I'm not even sure this is the correct way to go about this. Can someone please lend me a hand?
