the 3-line file below represents my workaround for this (the empty
ExecStart= effectively clears the command so that the second ExecStart=
is the only remaining one):
0 root@host:~# cat /etc/systemd/system/hostapd@.service.d/override.conf
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/hostapd -B -P /run/hostapd.%i.pid $DAEMON_OPTS
/etc/hostapd/%i.conf
0 root@host:~#
hope this helps other people who might run into the issue!
