When I tried to test v6.7.2+ (with patch v8) on NB + SDIO IW416, it needs t=
o issue "sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager" in order to test AP mode.

For i.MX + SDIO IW416, it needs to install following two files for client a=
nd AP mode to "/lib/systemd/network" for systemd-networkd:

<<Client mode: 80-wifi-station.network>>

[Match]
Type=3Dwlan
WLANInterfaceType=3Dstation

[Network]
DHCP=3Dyes

<<AP mode: 80-wifi-ap.network>>

[Match]
Type=3Dwlan
WLANInterfaceType=3Dap

[Network]
Address=3D192.168.100.1/24
DHCPServer=3Dyes

[DHCPServer]
PoolOffset=3D100
PoolSize=3D20

I think this is not related to driver.
