I can’t find any optimal information about wifi connection for yocto and Hummingboard Mate.

I’m trying to setting up wifi connection for Hummingboard Mate following these tutorials (there is not any information in any SolidRun webpage):

> **[How to bring up WiFi with a Yocto Image?](https://www.gumstix.com/community/support/faq/yocto-wifi/)**
>
> This instruction on how to bring up WiFi on a Yocto image is written for the stable version of Gumstix Yocto image, Morty.

> **[Intro to Embedded Linux Part 7 - Enable WiFi Networking with Yocto](https://www.digikey.lt/en/maker/projects/intro-to-embedded-linux-part-7-enable-wifi-networking-with-yocto/2e490a896a424a12b796ae60fef52937)**
>
> In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to enable WiFi drivers and networking for the STM32MP157D-DK1 using the Yocto Project

But for my Yocto system it doesn’t work.

My system is: Yocto Hardknott, with RealSense layer, building by imx-image-full.

When I’m doing ping, I receive “Network is unreachable”.

How should I set up the wifi configuration?

Thank you so much.

Are you looking for just general wifi connectivity, or a custom solution? In general I recommend using connman or networkmanager for wireless connectivity. Otherwise you would need to configure the system to use hostapd/wpad to initialize your wireless connection. Also make sure your wifi and bluetooth connections are unblocked by rfkill using the `rfkill list` command.

I want a general wifi connectivity, I found some message on other thread about connman, that’s works fine for me. Thank you so much!
