A tethering GUI for the Jolla phone (SailfishOS). It supports Bluetooth and Wifi (WPA2) tethering by controlling ConnMan directly via D-BUS. The GUI will automatically create a packet data connection and power on the necessary interface(s), when enabling tethering. It will also restore the states of the interfaces, when a user disables tethering.
At the moment only basic information is shown in the GUI. This is somewhat due to the fact that ConnMan doesn't (yet) provide detailed information about tethering. The same applies to the configurable parameters as ConnMan only allows for configuring the SSID and PSK of the Wifi network. For example the private network address is randomized every time and cannot be explicitly configured.
Installable RPM packages can be downloaded from the pkg directory. Also available in Jolla store.
Everything is released under the terms of BSD-new.
In some cases the enabling process might end up into an error and a user will need to try again or restart the app and try again.
- Keep in mind though that not all errors are bugs in the gui
