An AP created with "sudo wifi-ap.setup-wizard" is not re-established after a reboot. network-manager retakes control of the wlan device, and hostapd is not running. Seen in caracalla and other devices:

admin@1234567:~$ snap services wifi-ap
Snap Service Startup Current
wifi-ap automatic-setup enabled inactive
wifi-ap management-service enabled active

admin@1234567:~$ ps -ef|grep hostapd
