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.
