Hi Denis,
how I can start the iwd device in ap mode as the default mode?
Every time I start the iwd, the device will be in station mode.
Can I add this to main.conf

Unfortunately this is not yet supported. This is definitely something that is
needed, but nobody has gotten around to adding this functionality. Patches are
always welcome of course.

Thanks for your quick reply. I will try to add this
feature.
Any hint where to start?

Start by looking into src/manager.c. This is what is responsible for creating
interfaces on the wiphys managed by iwd. See manager_create_interfaces().
Right now we create a station interface and an optional P2P device wdev,
depending on hardware capability. I suppose it would make sense to have the
following states as configurable inside main.conf:
- station + p2p (current default)
- ap only
- maybe station + ap?
Feel free to find us on IRC if you want to brainstorm live, or on the mailing list.
