My device is https://www.aaeon.com/en/p/iot-gateway-ups-gws01 and I follow https://github.com/AAEONAEU-SW/meta-up-board/tree/sumo to build a .hddimg.
However, there is no wifi interface in ifconfig and "iwlist wlan0 scan" is not working.

    the wifi on that product is optional.

    Are you sure you got the one with the WiFi module installed?

    Hi DCleri,

    Thanks for your reply.
    I use a bootable USB stick to boot "ubuntu" for USB and there is a wifi interface (wlp4s0) in ifconfig.

    can you please identify the type of wifi card using dmesg?

    Hi DCleri,

    Thanks for your help.
    The dmesg of yocto and ubuntu are attached.
    In ubuntu_demesg.txt, the log listed below may be related to wifi.

    [ 32.303272] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: qca6174 hw3.2 target 0x05030000 chip_id 0x00340aff sub 11ad:0808

    BTW, the model of my device is "UPS-VKIT01-GWS01X7-A20-0464".

    Thanks @likku

    So the WiFi is working correctly on Ubuntu? Can you confirm?

    We will review why with the Yocto image the WiFi firmware is not loaded and we will come back to you asap
