You can't have the same device managed by both hostapd and network-
manager.

Title:
[Trusty] hostapd package is broken
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
Invalid
Status in wpa package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When trying to create an access point, I am met with a fatal error
with hostapd:
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
nl80211 driver initialization failed.
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started
What worked before no longer works today after a package upgrade.
After installing hostapd deb from Ubuntu 13.10, it works.
WORKAROUND: For this to persist through reboots, execute the following in a
terminal:
sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Add the following entry where the x's are replaced with your WiFi MAC
address, save, and then reboot:
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=mac:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
