            Bug ID: 86560
           Summary: RFE: networkd: support for creating additional nl80211
                    interfaces
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mgorny at gentoo.org
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Using net-wireless/iw you can duplicate wireless interface like this:

  iw dev wlp3s0 interface add wlp3s0_cl type managed
  iw dev wlp3s0 interface add wlp3s0_ap type __ap

Therefore making it possible to use the wifi adapter both as client and access
point (where supported).

It would be great if networkd .netdev files had support for such duplication as
well. As far as I can see, this is done via NL80211_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE command.
