This is unfortunately really hairy. networkd, NM etc. have "Type="
fields, which more or less match on the DEVTYPE uevent property. This is
properly set for wifis, but it's empty for actual ethernets and also for
vlans, some wifi devices, etc. So while I can set the restriction for
"wifis:", the attached patch does not actually work as the device type
is never actually "ether" (or similar).

So I'm afraid this is currently unfixable at the netplan/networkd/NM
level and we need to work around this by replacing the matching of "*"
to "en*".
