Ubuntu 22.04 - Inconsistent Network Interface Configuration with Netplan on Laptops
I'm refactoring my project and I'm stuck trying to Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm running Ubuntu 22.04 on my laptop, and I'm experiencing inconsistent network interface configurations using Netplan..... Occasionally, my Wi-Fi interface does not come up automatically on boot, even though I've set it to be managed in the configuration file. Here’s the relevant snippet from my `/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml`: ```yaml network: version: 2 renderer: networkd wifis: wlan0: dhcp4: true access-points: "MyNetwork": password: "MyPassword" optional: true ethernets: eth0: dhcp4: no ``` I've tried running `sudo netplan apply` after making changes, and confirmed that there are no syntax errors by running `sudo netplan try`. However, on some boots, `wlan0` fails to appear in `ip a`, and I need to connect to the Wi-Fi until I manually restart the network service with `sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd`. I also checked `journalctl -u systemd-networkd` for any errors and found entries like: ``` networkd: wlan0: Could not add interface to the actives: No such device ``` It seems like a race condition during boot, but I’m unsure how to resolve it. I’ve tried changing the boot order in `systemd`, but that didn’t help. Any suggestions on how to make sure my Wi-Fi interface comes up reliably at boot? This is part of a larger application I'm building. Any ideas what could be causing this? This is part of a larger API I'm building. What's the best practice here? I'm developing on Windows 10 with Yaml. Could someone point me to the right documentation? This is my first time working with Yaml 3.10. Any feedback is welcome!
