I've noticed a few issues with the pandaboard image that builds. 

1. core-image-sato does not have WiFi capability. I think it's missing firmware.

2. core-image-base is missing the linux-firmware.  I added: 
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " linux-firmware".  Now I have the necessary firmware to 
bring up the WiFi.

3. There is some delay cause in booting that affect the ability to have WiFi 
active after boot.  I have to wait a few minutes until I see the error and 
recovery before doing the ifup wlan0.

dmesg | grep wl12     gives me the following output:

[    0.396392] vwl1271: 1800 mV 
[   67.167297] wl12xx: ERROR could not get nvs file 
ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin: -2
[   67.181457] wl12xx: loaded

(once I see the message above I can ifup wlan0 which produces this output below 
and WiFi now is working:

[  135.964355] wl12xx: firmware booted (Rev 6.3.5.0.98)
[  137.979522] wl12xx: Association completed.
