How can we configure the WLAN to make the network working to complete the installation? It would be good to have a complete installation guide at our developer website.

WiFI network support on the Dragonboard is not working at the moment due to the changes we made to the first boot experience (console-conf). If you have a USB network adapter then this should work for now. In the near future we will have console-conf talk over WiFi for devices without an ethernet adapter.
