Package: connman
Version: 1.36-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I was trying to enable wifi tethering.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Enable wifi tethering with: connmanctl tether wifi on ssid password
* What was the outcome of this action?
Wifi tethering was enabled but the other device doesn't get an IP
address.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Getting a full functional wifi hotspot.
I checked and found that connman is using the old iptables and since Debian
Buster switched to nftables by default wifi tether doesn't work anymore.
You can check with iptables-legacy that connman is using the old nat
chain. You will also receive a warnig while using "iptables" that
iptables-legacy rules are set.
I could fix the issue by downloading the debian source and adding:
"--with-firewall=nftable" to dh_auto_configure in debian/rules.
Also libnftnl-dev, libmnl-dev need to be added to the Build-Depends in
debian/control.
Of course connman won't work with the old iptables-legacy then but since
nftables is the default now in Buster it should work out of the box in
my opinion.
Kind regards
Ray
