Internet connection on IMX8MPLUS-PEVK

[alepvn33]

Hello all,

I am having some trouble understanding how to connect a 8MPLUSLPD4-PEVK board with pre-loaded Linux image to internet. By running ifconfig I cannot find the wlan0 interface. I could connect it through the ethernet port, but I am not familiar with how to authenticate to the network.
Maybe it is too straightforward, but I would be glad if anyone could help me with this.

Thanks everyone
