Hi,
Connecting to Beagleboard configured as a hotspot does not work bidirectionally. I can ssh to it, but there is not internet on the Beaglebone. I tried “shared to other computers”, it does not work. Someone here proposed to use an Ethernet adapter. Thanks it worked, but I need wireless. I would thus want to try Beaglebone as a Wifi client, my laptop as a hotspot.
So I tried this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51837774/how-to-auto-connect-wifi-on-beaglebone-custom-linux
$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
$ systemctl status networking.service

Nov 03 18:02:04 beaglebone systemd[1]: Starting Raise network interfaces…
Nov 03 18:02:05 beaglebone systemd[1]: Started Raise network interfaces.
Does not work. Beaglebone is still a hotspot, ignores the content of wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/network/interfaces. Interesingly, so slightest warning or error message on restart.
Please help me. I guess that I should somehow switch off the hotspot on Beaglebone, but the docs which I browsed silent on this.
