ok. see you in a minute
nope, still no wifi adaptor found…
Nothing has changed
OK, well then I have no idea further. Post an updated inxi as above and hope and pray someone can help. Because:
- My knowledge has been exhausted; and
- I’ve got to be off now.
Hope you manage!

Well, thanks anyway. Ill post an updated inxi. And thank you for your time !
By the way, I’ve got homework to do myself, so…
I’ll be off too. 
You are very welcome, my friend! And homework’s no fun, no. Just like going to the dentist. You don’t want to, you don’t like it but you have to and when done you realize it could’ve been worse…

Who has an idea on how to fix this problem ?
Homework in itself isn’t fun, but the stuff i’m learning interests me, so I have to swim through it anyway

What do I do now ?
I have some aditionnal information though : I booted on the installation medium I created to see if it could find wifi, but it doesn’t. It gives the same error.
I don’t knowif this will help, but I also tried booting on Slitaz, which is also Debian-based, and it couldn’t find any wifi aswell… I know however that both installation mediums work fine, as they did work perfectly on another computer I have. i couldconnect to wifi on that computer on both slitaz and Manjaro, installed from the same bootable USB.
I hope this can be usefull…
What does the log say?

Looks like there’s afatal error somewhere…
Do you know what to do next ?
I’ve found the solution to my problem.
I booted with open source drivers, but that didn’t work.
When I tried to boot with closed source drivers, poof, I got Wifi access.
So this explains that…
