Not my call.  Customer wants to use Bluetooth to connect some tablets to
the beaglebones.  Apparently when the tablets first connect to the BB over
wifi, everything is fine, the application works.  But if they move too far
away from the BB, the tablets automatically switch over to the corporate
wifi, which has a stronger signal than the BB, and they don't switch back.
Once it switches to the corporate wifi, they lose access to the BB, and
their custom application no longer works.
