Or at least we postponed it so I don't have any binaries. But at that point wifi was working. I haven't played with the board lately so can't say too much about it. One thing I would do is: 1. compare the wifi firmware on yocto and debian ones 2. check the driver it uses (both the same?) 3. kernel versions? -- Andrei Gherzan
