my laptop has these two net cards

Code:

#~: lspci:
:Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723AE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter

:Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 0a)


now eth0 use correctly.but wlan0 not.

in kernel, drivers, network,wireless LAN , I have choosed CONFIG_RTL8723AE
and I 've copy realtek firmware in /lib/firmware/

Code:


~#: dmesg:
[    0.226352] pci 0000:04:00.0: [10ec:8723] type 00 class 0x028000
[    3.092680] rtl8723ae: Using firmware rtlwifi/rtl8723fw_B.bin


now wlan0 inode exist in ifconfig
Code:

~$:ifconfig:
wlan0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        ether 24:fd:52:7b:ba:e1  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0



but wlan0 is still not able to use.
Here are the ERRORS

Code:

localhost ~ # iwconfig
eth0      no wireless extensions.

lo        no wireless extensions.

wlan0     no wireless extensions.

localhost ~ # iwlist wlan0 scan
wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning.




Any ideas?
