Hi André,

start with googling for "linux wlan troubleshooting".
Use latest kernel wifi source code:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-next.git/

If you can compile kernel by your self, then you can do some changes on
kernel. See how driver works, add "printk("%s:%i\ņ", __func__,
__LINE__);" every where and monitore dmesg. The driver is located here:
linux/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8723ae

If you wont to help with this driver, do not fear to brake you kernel ;)
