It's pretty much the only way to troubleshoot AP mode issues. You would plug in the Ethernet cable after the Pi booted and AP mode seemingly failed to start after a few minutes. Then you should be able to SSH in or bring up the WebUI and copy/paste or download the startup log to see whats going on.

Hmm.   It's a pretty vanilla install. What are the possibilities?  My hardware is broken; there's a bug in MoOde's Access Point code; my phone can't see MoOde Access Points...

Maybe there's something in the logs.   It looks like moode.log might be the place to look but it's already got nothing for yesterday morning when I last had the problem.  I've enabled debug logging and I'll try again tomorrow when I'm next away from my network.

The startup log is generated afresh during boot, it's not cumulative. Turning debug logging on won't help with this kind of problem.

Maybe they could be kept for a couple of reboots, with .1, .2 etc extensions, to help in situations like this?
