Hi
This is still based on the Early Access release and is all being sorted out for the first “production” release.
The recent snapshot builds from 118 (which I’ve been using) work with the on-board WiFi with one proviso. At present you have to manually start up the network as the auto-start in Debian seems to expose a timing problem (the China team are looking at this).
[Also beware that Snapshot 125 (and later?) appears to have an HDMI regression so I wouldn’t recommend using that.]
Once you have the shell prompt use the following to get WiFi up and running:
First set up a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf file looking something like this:
network={ ssid=“your-ssid" psk=b7ba92455fe6e7f7eb4395abcdefghd52739aa8ad6a5de12e01d8966ed123456 }
with your own WPS psk hash (see the Getting Started notes)
Then do the following $ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
If you want to do scan to check things are basically working: $ sudo iw wlan0 scan | grep SSID
Then $ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext $ sudo dhclient wlan0
Then your network should be up. I’ve also heard (but not verified) that starting up WiFi may break Bluetooth - that is also being fixed.

All, what is working / not working on the HiKey board. I've tried both the on board wifi plus a RealTek usb wifi, neither works for me. I don't think that the drivers are seeing the hardware and they're certainly not loading firmware. By the way, the USB wifi works fine under x86 linux.
