One proven workaround is to add these 2 lines... ``` BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlan0.device After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlan0.device ``` ...into the `[Unit]` section of both of these files: - [hostapd.legacy.j2](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/network/templates/hostapd/hostapd.legacy.j2) (if `wifi_up_down: False`) - [iiab-clone-wifi.service.j2](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/blob/master/roles/network/templates/hostapd/iiab-clone-wifi.service.j2) (if...

PR #3379 is now merged to address this issue that appears a result of (both) Raspberry Pi OS kernels released in Aug 2022 (20220811 and 20220830). But let's keep this...
