Please find below the testplan I was implying:

The build of the module will take quite some time (more than 1hour..).

$ sudo ip link set dev wlan0 up

And finally use the following netplan configuration to connect to your AP (to store at /etc/netplan/wifi.yaml for example):

network:
 version: 2
 renderer: networkd
 wifis:
   wlan0:
     dhcp4: yes
     dhcp6: yes
     access-points:
       "YOUR_SSID":
         password: "YOUR_PASSWORD"

$ sudo netplan apply

Finally, we should be connected to the AP:

$ ip a
