So I solved this!
I was actually not going to bother going any further, but then I was working on another donated laptop (a Sony VAIO model) which did show the WiFi networks available when I first fired it up running Windows 8. Once I loaded LL 3.8 the same thing happened where no WiFi networks showed.
So I did all the same steps to no avail and then decided to switch drivers. I checked off to select the choice "Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA......(proprietary)", unplugged my WiFi USB and presto it showed me all the WiFi networks available. ;D
Yay!
