it's 192.168.8.x when dnsmasq is in control, and 192.168.1.x when
connman is controlling tethering.

yes, it does..

tethering is just the term connman uses for bridging/sharing a connection..

So out of the box on the bbgw/bbbw, the goal right now is to have a
usable access point.

Images before 2016-12-18 (1) and after 2016-11-06 (2), are setup in
Wireless AP mode using connman.

This works great, if you just connect a bunch of devices to the
bbgw/bbbw (and a usb ethernet device), BUT not so great if you don't
have a usb/eth dongle.

For the past couple of weeks, we've been testing/hacking on a dual
connection option. So when we don't detect a usb/eth0 device, you can
ssh into the bbgw/bbbw over the "BeagleBone-wxzy" interface, and then
(while still connected), use connman on wlan0 and connect it to a
second AP, (while still ssh'ed into the first connection)..
