    No matter what I do I can't get my wifi to work (Realtek RTL8723AU)

    I have just installed kali linux (64) on my laptop but I haven't been able to get the wifi to work and unfortunately i don't have an ethernet port on my laptop
    These is what i'm getting when I run the following commands:

    iwconfig:
    Code:
    lo        no wireless extensions.
    
    wlan0     IEEE 802.11abg  Mode:Monitor  Tx-Power=12 dBm   
              Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
              Power Management:on
    ifconfig:
    Code:
    lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>  mtu 65536
            inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
            inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>

    saw your post also on stackexchange this link is for ubuntu don't know if it will help a little diff on the model
    but the driver might be included in their dropbox link plus instructions on how to install
    via synaptic it shows as a bluetooth device so you could try from terminal installing 'firmware-realtek'
    * Realtek RTL8723AU rev A Bluetooth firmware (rtl_bt/rtl8723a_fw.bin)
