Despite trying numerous how-to's and trying different module options I'm unable to scan networks with my RT8723BE wireless.
The system is HP ProBook 455 running Debian testing, kernel 4.6.0-1-amd64.
Other information which may be useful:

I've also tried compiling a new module from
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_...ock.new.btcoex but get the following fatal errors when doing make:
Code:
/home/mark/Videos/rtlwifi_new-rock.new_btcoex/efuse.c:39:31: error: ‘RTL8712_SDIO_EFUSE_TABLE’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]
static const struct efuse_map RTL8712_SDIO_EFUSE_TABLE[] = {
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/home/mark/Videos/rtlwifi_new-rock.new_btcoex/efuse.c:35:17: error: ‘MAX_PGPKT_SIZE’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-const-variable=]
static const u8 MAX_PGPKT_SIZE = 9;
Any ideas as to how to proceed would be welcome.
