Thanks for the response! I have just been following various tutorials online that use the following command.
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE Maybe even the following iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o wlan0 -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT Allowing the packets coming in via the ad-hoc wlan to be forwarded onward via ethernet. I've seen this in several tutorials of sharing internet whether via usb or wlan. However, if I run that command on the beaglebone I get an error saying iptables needs to be updated. can't initialize iptables table `nat': (do you need to insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. I'll look into gated a little more. I'm looking for any simple solution that works.
