Hi,

Now my question:

What does it need to start hotspot automatically after boot? If there
is no setting available I could create a script/app using
Networkmanager's dbus

I would be very happy if somebody could help me because for me this is
the last part of the puzzle and solving would make me run in happy
mode :)


you certainly could use the DBUS interface.
But maybe it's easier to use "nmcli connection up"?

Thomas, you are my hero of the day - thanks a lot.

If there are no other WiFi connections defined on the system (nmcli con
| grep wireless) and the AP connection is the only one, and set
autoconnect=true, then NM will always bring that connection up when
starting.  If you do have other wifi connections that you periodically
use, you could set all of them autoconnect=no, and NM will ignore them
and always start the AP connection.

Sorry for late response - but autoconnect=true did not work - that's
why I asked here. Have a 'fresh' embedded system not connected to
other access points before.

I am using networkmanager 0.9.8.10 - other (eth0 / wlan connections to
other hotspots) autoconnections seem to work...
