Hello!
As a general rule of thumb, wi-fi adapters not supported by the kernel are Broadcom units. Different Broadcom models load different proprietary firmware drivers, so that's why we need more specific information about exactly which one you're using.
Distro folks aren't supposed to, but some of them have went ahead and built Broadcom support into their kernels anyway. I imagine that the LL development team would rather stay out of hot water with Broadcom by honoring their requests to not add native support for these units to their kernel...
