+       from the available space each time this profile is started.  The subnet

+
+       For example, if ``[IPv4].Netmask`` is set to 255.255.255.0 and this
+       setting, or the global *APAddressPool* fallback, is set to

+       with addresses in the 10.0.<0-3>.0/24 range, allowing 270 possible
+       subnets.  Defining an address pool larger than the desired subnet gives
+       IWD a chance to avoid conflicts if other interfaces on the system use
+       dynamically assigned addresses.
