Hello,
Apologies if this is a silly question. I am new to both the beagle bone and debian.
I have successfully booted my BBBW using a few different images from https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing. Everything goes well including the initial wifi setup using connman. However, after I configure my wifi using a method similar to that mentioned here: https://www.ccoderun.ca/programming/2016-12-18_BBBW/index.html#wifi, and I reboot, my connman doesn’t seem to function the same.
Following a successful boot from a fresh image, and a successful initial wifi setup, and then a reboot, I get the following when running sudo connmanctl:
Error getting VPN connections: The name net.connman.vpn was not provided by any .service filesconnman
Error getting technologies: The name net.connman was not provided by any .service filesconnmanctl
I see the following if I then run sudo ifconfig -a

Is this normal behavior, and am I just misunderstanding things?
I have tried flashing my BBBW (fresh from Digi Key) with a few different images from https://rcn-ee.com/rootfs/bb.org/testing. I have tried 2017-02-05, and 2017-02-12, both bone-debian-8.6-lxqt-4gb-armhf versions. Both respond the same way in terms of connman behavior following initial setup and reboot.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Tom
