Thanks Richard, you really have been an enormous help in this process, and 
I feel much more comfortable with this. Thank you for helping, I really 
have already learned a lot more.

Right now I'm trying to tweak the bitbake recipes a bit.
I'd like to remove connman and install networkmanager instead.
Connman apparently does not have ad-hoc wireless support...

All I'm trying to do is get my beagles to autojoin the ad-hoc network on 
startup.
I initially had some init.d scripts that would use ifconfig and iwconfig to 
set up the network, but for some reason these would not work totally 
correctly. The static IP would be correct, but in iwconfig it would not be 
set up with the ad-hoc network defined...

I also followed this guide, set up the service as was discussed in the 
link, but it did not function correctly either.

I tried removing connman with opkg and installing networkmanager, since I 
noticed I did not have a networking service (/etc/systemd/networking or 
whatever it is)... (this was a n00b mistake).
I ended up losing ssh access... and now am unable to talk to the board.
I guess if I had a serial cable I could debug the board, but right now it 
doesn't get an IP address (I checked the router's IP tables and it wasn't 
there) and the default USB 192.168.7.2 doesn't work either (I'm assuming 
connman used to set that up, but that was removed.)

Right now the plan is to edit the bitbake recipes to remove connman and 
have networkmanager built instead. Then reflash the board. I have a feeling 
that there may be an easier way...

Thanks again for the help,
Mark
