That driver is for the RTL8723AE, and other PCI-based devices. There is no USB 
code in it.

I personally have never seen an RTL8723AU, which would be the proper designation 
for a USB device with the 8723A chip.

Do you have a link as to what devices have this chip? I am interested in adding 
it to my collection, and getting a driver for it into the kernel.
