[Feature Request] Support mobile hotspot internet access about teslausb

Sorry for the additional spin. A cursory search came up empty, hence the request.GitHub really needs to step up their search capabilities.

Don't search Github for the answer to a general linux/Raspberry Pi OS question. A Google search for "raspberry pi multiple wifi connections" showed this as one of the top results, which explains how to do it when using wpa_supplicant.

Not privy to the mechanism to add additional WiFi networks, perhaps this procedure could be detailed (or linked to, if appropriate) in the TeslaUSB FAQ to help both users and reduce further requests like this ?

I really don't want to go down the path of documenting every little bit of linux knowledge, because that would be a full time job. The TeslaUSB and FAQ cover the basics. For anything else I suggest asking Google, the TeslaUSB discussion forum or the TeslaUSB Discord.

Aside: setting one's mobile hotspot to the same SSID/Shared Key as one's home WiFi is the absolute worst advice lest someone get a rude awakening when everyone in their household consumes their mobile tethering allotment quicker than Sentry Mode can fill up a USB stick 🤣

Why would you turn on the hotspot at home though?

This has been requested before and my position on this hasn't really changed. It's easy enough to add additional networks after the fact (and even easier to just give your phone hotspot the same SSID and password as your home wifi), so it doesn't need to be part of TeslaUSB setup.

Ps- this project is truly wonderful so thanks for keeping it going so beautifully ! ♥️
