[Bug 1616928] Re: netplan should support managing wlan devices via wpasupplicant

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package nplan - 0.11.1

---------------
nplan (0.11.1) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * tests/integration.py: Clean up wpa_supplicant in between tests

nplan (0.11) yakkety; urgency=medium

  * Support /lib/netplan/*.yaml files.
    This is useful for configuration snippets shipped by packages.
  * Add networkd support for wifi (LP: #1616928)
    networkd cannot handle wifi natively, so generate a wpa_supplicant
    configuration and unit that does the WLAN part and leave the IP part to
    networkd.
    This supports open and WPA2, and infrastructure and adhoc mode. "match:" is not
    supported as the netplan-wpa at .service helper unit is bound to the named network
    interface device unit.
  * As networkd can now handle wifi devices, use networkd consistently as a default
    renderer.
  * tests/integration.py: Kill leftover NetworkManager processes between tests.
    NetworkManager.service has KillMode=process and leaks dhclient processes.
  * Fix package description for updated yaml paths

Title:
  netplan should support managing wlan devices via wpasupplicant

Status in nplan package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  in the embedded world developers often do not use network-manager but instead create an
  /etc/network/interfaces.d/wlan0 file with content like:
  --
  auto wlan0
  iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid XXXXXXXXX
    wpa-psk XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  --

  currently netplan only supports wireless management via network-
  manager. this consumes ram and diskspace and also runs permanent
  daemon processes as well as dbus services which might not be desired
  on constrained embedded systems.

  it would be nice if netplan could support the simple combination of
  ifupdown and wpasupplicant alongside network-manager for wireless
  management.
