ideapad yoga 13 wireless device not identified? (rtl8723)

I just picked up an ideapad yoga 13  and tried to put arch on it. But I'm writing this from the preinstalled windows. The network (via Realtek RTL8723A Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter) works fine here.

I'm using the 02-2014 install media.

lspci -nn | egrep -i  '(eth|net|real|rtl)' 

has no results

 ip link && ifconfig -a 

shows only the lo device

rfkill list

shows
ideapad_wireless
ideapad_bluetooth

with bluetooth on soft lock

I tried

modprobe rtl8723ae

but no see no new devices

echo "10ec 8723" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/rtl8732ae/new_id

gives a permission error

Anyone with similar experiences?

It doesn't show up in lspci because it's an USB device, so lsusb is the tool to find it. Driver is available here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723au
