I mentioned this a while ago and am wondering if this is on the list
of features to add. Currently, we start as connman/iwd, but if we do
not get an IP address, we stop iwd then start hostapd and advertise as
an AP for initial setup. When a user connects, he/she can scan for
availabel SSIDS and set then up.
I know iwd can run in AP mode, but it cannot scan while in AP mode. As
it is, hostapd does this for us, so we have a work around. I was
wondering if this functionality is in the works.

Regards,

Keith
