I have the wireless network card RTL8723BE PCIe, which is not currently working. I suspect I managed to ruin the drivers, when trying to get bluetooth to work. This is the operating system and kernel:

Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS
Kernel: Linux 3.19.0-65-generic
Architecture: x86_64

The system does recognize the wireless network card. sudo lshw -C network returns:

*-network UNCLAIMED     
   description: Network controller
   product: RTL8723BE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
   vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
   physical id: 0
   bus info: pci@0000:08:00.0
   version: 00
   width: 64 bits
   clock: 33MHz
   capabilities: pm msi pciexpress cap_list
   configuration: latency=0
   resources: ioport:4000(size=256) memory:b2500000-b2503fff

And iwconfig returns:

lo        no wireless extensions.
eth0      no wireless extensions.

rfkill list does not return anything.

I tried following the instructions here: Wifi problems with rtl8723be in Ubuntu 14.04

Which did not help me.
