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. Dan 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...
