Hi Robert, 
Thanks for your reply. My BBB wireless is indeed running the default image 
debian 4.4. As you said, out of box after the beagle is powered it acts as an 
access point (wifi tether mode) and I can connect my PC to it. However, my 
issue with this is I have to disable wifi tether in connmanctl in order to 
connect my beagle to a second AP, with wifi tether on, my BBB wireless is 
unable to find any wifi services with the scan wifi command, with wifi tether 
off, my BBB no longer acts as an AP and my PC can no longer access it via its 
local wifi. Do you know a way that I can have both wifi tether and connect to a 
second AP at the same time? This is actually why I am exploring the wifi direct 
option, from my understanding it is peer to peer wifi which is different from 
tether mode. Hopefully my explanation makes sense to you.
Thanks again!
Dan
