Banana Pi Pro - WLAN configuration

Add 'ap6210' to /etc/modules to enable WiFi, and use modprobe ap6210 to force load the module. Check dmesg to see if all has been loaded correctly. If not, reboot and check again.

sh
dmesg|grep WLAN

Install the required packages:

sh
apt-get install wireless-tools iw wpasupplicant

Modify /etc/network/interfaces
