If I'm interpreting connmanctl v1.36 documentation correctly (connmanctl --help), the command would look something like this: $ sudo connmanctl tether wifi on MY_SSID MY_PASS There might be some requirements, i.e. connman might assume it has established the dialup connection (as opposed to MBIM). I haven't experimented this much. -- Kind regards, Tarmo -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
