wpa_supplicant AP (mode=3) sample conf file block?

Hi all,
I've been using hostAPd to allow my embedded linux deployment to
generate a hotspot in the event of no available hotspots, but it looks
like Jouni is in the process of merging the hostapd and wpa_supplicant
codebases, so I tried configuring wpa_supplicant with a network block
defining the AP mode behavior but I've had no luck finding the proper
combination of directives needed to get it to operate in this mode. The
wpa_supplicant.conf docs and sample file both indicate mode=3 is the
needed directive but I presume there are a set of other required
directives one of which I must be missing. Does anyone have a working
example config where wpa_supplicant is operating in AP mode?
My attempt at this which does NOT work was:
network={
ssid="your_ssid"
mode=3
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
psk="your_wifi_password"
}
I presume there must be other required directives for AP mode operation
but I haven't been able to work out what they are. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Colin Hill
