if you upgraded i suspect the upgrader assumes your network was
configured correctly ... 

netplan is a high-level config system that acts as frontend to the
actual networking tools so if you have a working network-manager or
systemd-networkd setup already it might not reversely generate a
toplevel config for that ... (just guessing though, i havent checked
the update-manager code) 

if you'd put a config into that dir it would re-configure your network
on reboot (or when calling "netplan apply" if you want it without
reboot) though.
