So we have a document somewhere, the default subnet's are setup as:

192.168.7.x - usb0
192.168.8.x - wlan0

to take full control of wlan0, and do what you want, do this:

sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install bb-wl18xx-firmware

Then run:  (i just added the TETHER_ENABLED kill option a few days ago)

sudo sed -i -e 's:TETHER_ENABLED=yes:TETHER_ENABLED=no:g' /etc/default/bb-wl18xx

sudo connmanctl tether wifi off || true

Now you have full control of wlan0 and stick in on any subnet..
