see you are making progress. No rfkill error.
I'd be pulling my hair out by now.
because your wifi card on your laptop is on, your rfkill are all turned off. and still it is not pulling up a list of wifi sights. so are you close to any wifi providers/routers admitting a wifi signal for your wifi cards antenna to pick up?

take off kde, and query just Networkmanager, then install whatever name that gives you, then try as suggested, unplug your cat, boot a live usb or dvd, then see if you can get wifi using that.
dobble check that your wifi card on your laptop is actually turned on.
open it up, unplug it and plug it back in, then close it up and reboot, then go through the steps again.
