Unable to detect wifi hardware on an owasys microcontroller running debian 9.

Initially after SSHing into the microcontroller I was able to get the wifi on with this line.
ip link set mlan0 up
Subsequent running of iwconfig
would display mlan0 in the list of the devices.
Next day after the microcontroller has been switched of for the night I am unable to replicate that set up.
Output of runnng lsmod

output of running iwconfig -a
does not list mlan0, which it did first time around:

this is what I get if I run dmesg
:
[ 5.939860] mlan: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. [ 6.398869] systemd-journald[107]: Received request to flush runtime journal from PID 1 [ 6.418469] wlan: Loading MWLAN driver [ 6.480709] wlan: Driver loaded successfully
I suspect "loading out-of-tree module taints kernel" may be an issue but I do not know how to proceed further.
In all other logs there is no mention of anything relating to wlan/mlan.
I have tried unloading the modules in question and restarting the whole networking:
sudo rmmod sd8xxx sudo rmmod mlan modprobe sd8xx modprobe man /etc/init.d/networking restart
This still has not fixed the problem.
Besides reflashing the whole system and hoping it works just like the first time I do not really know how to proceed with trying to fix this issue or even what further debugging to undertake.
Thanks for your help.
