Robert, what was the reason here? It would be great if we could reduce the 
number of tools and simply do bug fixes ourselves to try to push things 
across the finish line. Right now, I'm in networking hell. :-(

I keep seeing funky behavior where I ask connman to ignore interfaces and 
it still prints a bunch of stuff and seems to interfere. I've added 
'SoftAp' to the ignore list so we could create a wifi gateway and if I have 
connman running, even though it says it is ignoring the interface, it gives 
me an odd issue with the name already being used.

With the BeagleBone acting as the DHCP server and repeatedly serving up the 
same address, that wouldn't work. We need a minimal host configuration 
setup on all of Windows, Linux and Mac, so I think asking people to 
manually configure their networks isn't a scalable approach.
