Re: my wifi adapter is not working

trying to get my wifi adapter to work … where am i supposed to get them?

From the internet…

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

lspci -knn
lsusb -tv
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

And in doubt also post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Fwwi

the drivers are downstream

There're in-tree and out-of-tree kernel modules, "downstream" doesn't make any sense in this context.
Your distro is downstream from the developer, you are downstream from your distro.
