If I do : # nmcli radio wifi off , it disassociates the PHY for the device and I have to 'rfkill $id unblock' . If I reenable wireless, and do # systemctl stop wpa_supplicant # mv /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant.bin after starting NM, then I can run hostapd . I have to remember to move wpa_supplicant back after I stop using hostapd . Please add support for enabling either hostapd or wpa_supplicant, not both, to NM = or is there some way of disabling running the wpa_supplicant service only, without rfkill ?
