Tethering GUI for the SailfishOS

Tethering

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.

harbour-tethering-gui's Issues

Show bluetooth IP address

I was delighted that it's possible to SSH into Jolla from devices connected via bluetooth tethering.

Unfortunately, currently one must go to terminal to figure out the current "bluetooth PAN" IP address (currently from rmnet0).

Would it be possible to show the device IP on the main screen? It would fit there, but would it be too technical?

E.g.

Wifi
    Tethering status:
        Disabled
    IP address:
        ...
    Nework name:
        ...
    Network pre-shared key:
        ...
Bluetooth
    Tethering status:
        Enabled
    IP address:
        ...

Bluetooth tethering does not work on 1.1.7.28

After upgrade to SailfishOS 1.1.7.28, the attempt to turn on Bluetooth tethering fails with "Error: Not supported". Not sure whether this Is a base OS misconfiguration, bug in it or some kind of API change.

cover info

Hi,

it would be great if you could show the number of connected devices in the cover. Great app!
