Enable/disable Wi-Fi tethering when Wi-Fi dongle is not plugged in

I am working on a system where a USB dongle is used for Wi-Fi functionality. The Wi-Fi can be used in client or access point mode, configurable. However, it seems it's not possible to enable/disable tethering mode while the USB Wi-Fi device is not currently plugged in. E.g.: # connmanctl

connmanctl quitting before multiple return functions called

I've been looking into extending connmanctl's functionality with configuration for the net.connman.Clock API. I've been developing a command that can set clock properties, similar to the existing "config" command. I've noticed that when multiple parameters are set, then the 'return' function

[PATCH] connmanctl: Implement clock API with new clock commands

--- I'm not sure if you would like this use of commands. I'm interested not only in _setting_ clock settings, but also in reading them conveniently. The precedent in connmanctl is that there is one command to configure a service ('config'), and a separate command to see its properties

Mailing list e-mails not received

Since about 24 hours ago (approx. 1 am 14-Oct-2015 UTC), I'm not getting any e-mails from the mailing list. I had to go on the list archive page to see messages. I realise it could be a problem with my local e-mail system. But other e-mails are coming through. And I tried to subscribe with my
