WiFi not working

[Stefanos Chrs]

Hello, I just bought a BBBW and I managed to connect to it through USB but when I try to connect to WiFi it throws the following error

connmanctl> enable wifi

Enabled wifi

connmanctl> scan wifi

Error /net/connman/technology/wifi: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Please run:

sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh

if that doesn't exist, just run:

and copy that output to this thread.

So what's happening, in that old version "connman" is providing
"tether" services over wifi. So wlan0 is tied up. We changed this
later after the november release, you can use "tether wifi off" to
shut down down...

sudo connmanctl
connmanctl> tether wifi off
connmanctl> enable wif
connmanctl> scan wifi
connmanctl> services
connmanctl> agent on
connmanctl> connect wifi_*_managed_psk
connmanctl> quit

Or you can just reflash a new image from this week:

http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Jessie_Snapshot_lxqt

which has SoftAp0 controlled by another application and connman is
able to scan without blocking from the tether interface.
