I just flashed a Beaglebone Green Wireless with the latest MachineKit standalone image.

Now it's running a SoftAP that asks for a password.

- What's the password?
- How do I just turn off the SoftAP and use connman to configure WiFi access?

Thanks!

Same wifi password it always has been.

Thank you. This is the first time I'm using BBW, and despite googling for terms around this, I couldn't find anything. The build that was on the BBW when I took it out of the box had no password on the WiFi. So, I'm not sure where I would have learned the password. I did try "machinekit".

Well, so I looked at that. I'm not really sure what to change in order to turn off the AP. Is it enough to set TETHER_ENABLED=no? I guess I can try it…

That seemed to do the trick. Thanks!
