CTI Orbitty TX2 AP Mode Fails

I am looking to use a TX2 (in a Orbitty carrier board) as a WiFi access point.
The TX2 is running Host OS Resin OS 2.14.0+rev3.
If I enable an AP connection via nmcli (nmcli con up MyAPConnection), no access point is visible from other machines. On the TX2 it shows as being connected and having a host IP of 10.42.0.1
I was able to get it to work with the following work around:
echo “2” > /sys/module/bcmdhd/parameters/op_mode
By default this has a value of 0.
If I then run nmcli con down MyAPConnection followed by nmcli con up MyAPConnection, the AP is visible.
I
s there a way for this to be changed in a new version of BalenaOS for TX2?
I can easily access this from a container besides perhaps mounting as a volume.
