Possibly NetworkManager that keeps wpa_supplicant running could
interfere and prevent hostapd to set AP mode?

In
/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service
and
/lib/systemd/system/wpa_supplicant.service
I didn't find any option to prevent NM to keep wpa running... is it
hardcoded? How to stop wpa and retry with hostapd?
Thanks
