Sorry, must have been off the channel when you posted. We're mostly
available during daytime GMT+0 to GMT+2.

Latest and greatest wpa_supplicant should do just fine. wpa_supplicant
1.x does also work, but not as well.
The README says that the kernel needs CONFIG_BRIDGE and
CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_MASQUERADE, and wpa_supplicant must be compiled with
CONFIG_AP=y.
Run ConnMan with 'connmand -n -d src/tethering.c,src/bridge.c' and see
what errors it might print out.

Here you can also use 'connmanctl tether <technology> on' as it does not
require python on the device. connmanctl only adds a dependency to
readline in addition to the connman ones.

That's somewhat old. In 1.23 there were a few fixes to tethering, but
they are not related to enabling tethering. I'd recommend to upgrade if
possible, all later releases have fixed quite a few issues that will
bite your system at some later point.
