Verification done for yakkety: I have verified that the workaround for mwifiex is present in nplan 0.23~16.10. No further testing can be done due to the fact that I don't have any hardware that uses the mwifiex driver.

[Test case] 1) Run 'netplan apply' on a system with mwifiex_pci driver. The system should not crash, and the mwifiex interface should remain untouched. [Regression potential] Interfaces other than those affected by unbind/bind crashes or failures should still be unbound when 'netplan apply' is run. This affects most wireless interfaces, with the notable exception of mwifiex and brcmfmac. Failure to apply netplan configuration for a legitimate mwifiex device (wireless connection driven by NetworkManager renderer using netplan) would also constitute a regression. [Original bug report] # echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mwifiex_pcie/unbind # echo 0000:03:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/mwifiex_pcie/bind Keep doing the bind/unbind actions, it would crash very soon.
