Intro
This tutorial is aimed at setting up the BeagleBone Wireless with a static IP address. Note, you must have a BeagleBone wireless that broadcasts itself over mDNS.
Getting onto the BeagleBone Wireless
Power your BeagleBone black, I suggest using the micro usb cable it came with. Once it's up, you can see in your network settings "BeagleBone-XXXX". You want to connect to it. The password is "BeagleBone"
After being connected you should be able to reach the BeagleBone over ssh.
ssh debian@192.168.8.1Setting a Static IP Address and Nameservers
The following commands are used to set a static IP address with the connmanctl utility.
sudo connmanctl
connmanctl> enable wifi
connmanctl> scan wifi
connmanctl> services
connmanctl> agent on
connmanctl> connect wifi_id_managed_psk # Replace this
# 192.168.1.100 is the static IP address
# 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask
# 192.168.1.1 is the default gateway
# 8.8.8.8 is the nameserver
connmanctl> config wifi_id_managed_psk --ipv4 manual 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 --nameservers 8.8.8.8
connmanctl> exitTesting the Static IP
Congratulations! � Your beaglebone should be accessible on your network at 192.168.1.100. I'd like to note that my home network configuration IP address start at 192.168.50.X so my wifi config was a bit different. If you need help finding out how to set it up, it'll be helpful to run an ip configuration command on the machine you're using.

Recently Flashed BeagleBone
I spent an embarrassingly long amount of time trying to figure out why this configuration wouldn't stick after flashing my EMMC. It was because I did not read the documentation closely enough. Make sure to run this https://elinux.org/Beagleboard:BeagleBoneBlack_Debian#Flashing_eMMC
