I use Beaglebone Blue which has no Ethernet port. Yes, internet sharing has 
many variables, but hotspots often work and if BBB had a typical Wifi 
manager, there would likely be no issue from the start. There are no tools 
like telnet or nmcli installed on it. For now, I will try port tunneling 
via SSH. Thanks Tarmo for your help.
