Currently my Wi-Fi works on my normal operating system but when I boot from tails the Wi-Fi Icon does not pop up nor does it show in settings>network. rfkill list command in root terminal has no output and rfkill unblock all does not have any effect. ifconfig wlan 0 up command brings error message "no such device". The USB works in terms of Wi-Fi when it is put into my laptop. Suggestions?
Wi-Fi card: ASUS PCE-AC88 4x4 Wireless AC3100 PCIe Adapter

If you knew what you're doing, you would start with lsusb and lspci, and checking dmesg. The commands in these other forums would help if you have drivers in the kernel, and are having problems elsewhere.

Two remarks:
- As @bfg-9000 said, there are no Linux drivers for this card
- Looking at the commands you've tried being desperate, Tails is not for you. Get a regular Linux distro like Ubuntu or Mint if you want to explore these lands. Leave Tails (and other "hacker" distros) for when you will know what you are doing.

I use tails in terms of its anonymity purposes, not to put on my anonymous mask with my "hacker" distro. Trying to troubleshoot the problem I came across multiple people suggesting those commands to fix the issue and the point was to make it known I was not looking for those as an answer. It's possible to answer my question without making assumptions and being a douche.
