No. There is not such animal. Why you ask ? Because this has nothing to do with a Chrome-Book, and a single board computer. It has everything to do with Linux. More specifically; Chromes ability to do Internet Connection Sharing. So, while on the topic of Chrome. I have no hands on experience with Chrome. None, nadda, zip ! So, my suggestion to you, would be go to a Chrome forum, google group, or IRC chat channel, and pose your question there. Just leave out the part where you're using a beaglebone, and just tell them "a Debian system". Since, again, the hardware has nothing to do with it.
