Hello,
Is there a tutorial or example for configuring two linux boxes in P2P mode
with iwctl ?

There isn't one and no P2P commands are available in iwctl at this
time.  P2P is still work-in-progress in IWD but generally you need a
program that implements a P2P service (similar to bluetooth profile)
and that program can talk to IWD directly, so iwctl commands would not
be useful.  Wi-Fi Display is the main service that is targeted.

Technically you should be able to run the test/connect-p2p script on
one machine without passing any peer name, and run:

test/connect-p2p <first-machine's-name>

on the other and that should give you an IP connection if successful.
Both IWD instances need to have EnableNetworkConfiguration=1 in their
main.conf.

Best regards
