Hello Vipul Suneja,

I would recommend for you to check the Wi-Fi QCA6174 driver section of the Linux Reference Manual included as part of the i.MX BSP documentation of the BSO you are using, as there is useful information on how to enable and connect to networks.

I hope this helps!

Thanks!

I will try this out.

Have you tried "ifconfig -a" and checked if wlan0 is listed there? Regular "ifconfig" just lists the interfaces that are up.

Thanks!

I tried with this but wlan0 interface missing. I tried to make it up via command "ifconfig wlan0 up", but its not coming up.
