I would also add that using the Android Kit Kat 4.4 SD Card image (SDcard-image_SVN2705.zip), everything is fine and Wifi works properly.

That seems to work. Could you explain why it didn't work before (while it does in the videos) and it does with this new image?
This new image also seems to be smaller in size: 1.41GB vs 3.97GB for the other Yocto image ?

Added some needed but missing packages (webcam,rsync,ntp,apache,libpng....) & removed a lot of bloatware to keep size minimal .
