I'm working with Cassandra and it will recognize that I have my wireless device in. Well, from the GUI everything seems to be working but I don't have any choices under 'wireless networks' and if I 'choose other wireless' and put in all the details it just says 0%
It does the same now that I've made sure I have the prism driver installed using ndiswrapper.
After removing my ethernet connection and running mintWifi.py this is the output:

Thanks for reading
oh, and another weird thing, on the graphical wireless driver tool (ndisgtk? or ndiswrapper) it says "Hardware present: No" even though the d-link usb is in. and in the daemon.log it says "NetworkManager: <WARNING>^I nm_device_802_11_wireless_set_mode (): error setting card wlan0 to Infrastructure mode: Operation not supported"
