So my card is able to scan for networks with "iwlist wlan0 scan" but when I try and connect to a network it gives me this error
Code:
dhcpcd wlan0
Error, dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device

tried doing a ifconfig wlan0 up
Code:
ifconfig wlan0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device

So why is my system able to scan for networks and get actual results but not be able to connect to them and get an IP? There should not be an issue with my card communicating with the router since this system had windows prior without any issue connecting.

here some additional information which may help
Code:
#ndiswrapper -v

Please append information from dmesg when modprobing ndiswrapper.

It seems the device is properly initialized. Does dmesg say anything when you try to switch it up?

It looks like you have Windows driver that does not work with your card (eg. it is designed for older version or revision etc).
