I've managed to set up my BBBW to have a static IP address and gateway for wlan0 that persist even after a reboot. There has to be a cleaner way to do this, but I found the file /var/lib/connman/wifi_[...]/settings and edited it to change the IPv4 entries.
What I haven't been able to do is set up a file with my chosen dns servers that survives rebooting. The file /etc/resolv.conf always ends up being "generated by connection manager". I can't figure out how to stop that. My work around is to have a file with echo "nameserver ..." > /etc/resolv.conf echo "nameserver ..." >> /etc/resolv.conf and run this as root soon after rebooting the BBBW. In short, I'm quite confused by the networking options for the BBBW using Linux beaglebone 4.4.30-ti-r64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 4 21:23:33 UTC 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux. Do I want to use ifconfig? iwconfig? wicd? network manager? connmanctl? something else? Can these coexist? Answers to clear up my confusion as well as a pointer to an appropriate document to read would be welcome!
