Hi Dan,
When I create an AP interface using iw, it is followed by a change
interface back to managed mode. I added a WARN_ON to see where it came
from and it turns out to be the NetworkManager. However, I had disabled
wifi as you suggested on the mailing list once. What is your take on
this: bug or intentional?
Regards,
Arend

You shouldn't really have a WARN_ON() on a path that can be hit by
userspace like that :)

Which method was that to disable wifi? Also, what NM version are you
running?

I used nmcli, ie. nmcli nm wifi off. Running 4.1-rc6 kernel on Ubuntu
14.04. Here nmcli version info:
$ nmcli -v
nmcli tool, version 0.9.8.8

Yeah, unfortunately that won't work with 0.9.8.8 for AP-mode interfaces.
It appears that NM still re-sets interfaces to STA mode when
cleaning/initializing them, including when moving from UNMANAGED ->
UNAVAILABLE states where they stay until 'wifi on' is done. The only
reason it does this is that some drivers used to be *awful* at scanning
in ad-hoc mode. But these days NM should really just stop doing this;
so I filed:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751269
At least with NM 0.9.10 and later you can set the interface to be
unmanaged using interface names, and you can also disable the wifi
plugin entirely as well.
But for the 2013-era 0.9.8, if you're able to control the MAC address of
the new AP interface, you can add that to the 'unmanaged-devices' line
in NetworkManager.conf.
