This seems to be a historical limitation. As Netplan originally wrote an
instantiated [email protected] unit, identified by the interface
name.
We might be able to work around this today, using the new custom
"netplan-wpa-*.service" units and some runtime detection of the
interface name, using helpers like "_netplan_enumerate_interfaces()".
Alternatively, we could at least accept the "match" stanza right now,
when a "set-name" is configured, so we will only every need to match a
single interface in wpa_supplicant.conf (using the "-i IFACE"
parameter). Would the latter be sufficient for your usecase?
