Ya. I don't think connman plays well with create_ap. You can probably
work around this by telling connman to not manage wlan0 by placing
something like the following in /etc/connman/main.conf
NetworkInterfaceBlacklist=wlan
This will prevent connman from attempting to manage _any_ wlan interface.
But of course, you won't later be able to use connman with that interface
to connect as a STA.
It seems to be a point of confusion about how to setup and manage
persistent settings for networking. People often are tripped up by the
fact that connman may be interfering with their attempts to make changes
using /etc/network/interfaces and friends. It would be great if we could
come up with ways to prevent this confusion.
I do know that connman will setup an AP (called tethering). Unfortunately,
the only way I could get this to work was by stopping dnsmasq. For some
reason, dnsmasq was preventing connman for establishing the AP...my guess
is that connman wants to do DHCP and conflicts with dnsmasq.
I wonder if it would be possible to have connman manage the USB link and
thus avoid all the hackery in /etc/network/interfaces and dnsmasq?
Alternatively, I wonder if network manager might be a better all around
choice for one stop shopping for network management in lieu of connman? I
don't have any personal experience, but others (DeKay) have supposedly had
luck using nm.
