With a big fat warning about connman overriding certain settings!

Err, couldn't figure out from the pastebin.  Looked at your repo, and it 
appears you are trying to have some control over what the starting IP 
address that DHCP will hand out for tethering?  If so, I don't think you 
can necessarily assume that the USB gadget will be the first thing needing 
an address can you? What if one tethers WiFi then USB?  What if there is an 
address conflict with the localhost or USB host?  I'm assuming that connman 
deals with these use cases when allocating a new IP address via its 
internal DHCP.  And you still won't get the "static" address you desire.

Ya, and therein lies the problem it seems.  Maybe it would be best to bite 
the bullet here and go for <hostname>.local discovery?  OTOH, not sure if 
mDNS hostname discovery works on a Windoze machine?
