Hi, I'm testing connman on an ARM embedded board and I'm having trouble getting tethering to work. In my setup, I'm using a Ralink based USB device which runs fine with hostapd, so I assume it should also be possible with connman in tethering mode. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
[Following up on earlier discussions on this list, I have to admit that Ad-Hoc modes are indeed no option here due to the fact that Android phones can't cope with them at all. So the ability to act as 'real' access point now became a requirement for the system. Which has it's good sides too, as there's no need to modify connman in that way.] When playing with the python-based command line tools, I can connect to my local Wifi networks just fine by calling 'connect-service ssid secret'. However, when calling 'enable-tethering wifi testtest 12345678', the tool returns 'Enabling wifi tethering', and connman (started as 'connmand -nd') shows this output: http://pastebin.com/jR79Bz79 After that, the device doesn't seem to have switched its mode ... # iwconfig wlan0 wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=20 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on .. and attempts to connect to existing networks as before now fail constantly, even after the damon was restarted. The full output with debug information of a freshly started daemon can be found here: http://pastebin.com/vumFk7eR A reboot is needed to recover from that state. On a more general note: what I'm trying to achieve here on a higher level is a system that connects to a set of preconfigured services (wired, wireless) if they are available. As a fallback, the system should switch back to tethering, serving its own wireless LAN with DHCP server features and so on. Can anyone elaborate on what would be the easiest way to implement this?
