Hello, anyone knows how to get the wlan working?

Code:

sudo lshw rock                            description: Computer     product: Pine64 RockPro64 v2.1     serial: e42940d2523ce77b     width: 64 bits     capabilities: smp cp15_barrier setend swp tagged_addr_disabled   *-core ...   *-network        description: Ethernet interface        physical id: 9        logical name: eth0        serial: 42:ff:3e:26:3f:3f        size: 1Gbit/s        capacity: 1Gbit/s        capabilities: ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation        configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=st_gmac driverversion=Jan_2016 duplex=full ip=192.168.0.199 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=1Gbit/s networkctl IDX LINK TYPE     OPERATIONAL SETUP   1 lo   loopback carrier     unmanaged   2 eth0 ether    routable    unmanaged

To my surprise I needed to install closed source binaries to get the wifi working. Is this expected?
Please let me know. I thought that open sw was the main selling point of the pine64 products.
