** Description changed:

- - The 'match' directive is not supported in 'wifis' interfaces for MAC 
address matches with networkd
+ - The 'match' directive is not supported in 'wifis' interfaces with networkd
  - The 'access-points` directive is not supported in 'ethernets' interfaces
  
- Therefore, a wifi interface can't be both renamed by MAC address *and*
- used.
+ Therefore, a wifi interface can't be both renamed *and* used.
  
  This seems like a basic requirement for a network manager.
  
  This also seems silly since networkd's .link files definitely support
- matching a wifi interface based on MAC address (and the rename works
- just fine if I put the interface in the 'ethernets' section). I can
- write the .link files manually but then there's no point to using
- netplan.
+ matching a wifi interface based on at least MAC address (and the match /
+ rename works just fine if I put the interface in the 'ethernets'
+ section). I can write the .link files manually but then there's no point
+ to using netplan.
