Thanks, Dominique!  Yes, that explains a lot.

I guess the conclusion is that Debian does not support wi-fi on these machines.  Though the framework for support is there, if the appropriate extremely hardware specific firmware blob can be located.  I guess it’s something to take up with the manufacturer of the board.

Enjoy!
