Hi. My device is running: - Linux kernel 4.14.18 - BlueZ 5.46 I am trying to setup the simple case where my "smart phone" should act as an NAP with "tethering" enabled. Then I simply want to connect to above network from my device. The pair/connect phase worked just fine.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
