Yes, Netplan handles such cases, but only if it's actually in use. In the scenario described above, /etc/netplan/ is empty and therefore the Netplan generator doesn't do anything.

I unplugged the network cable, and didn't configure wifi. The installation finished, but first boot, and subsequent boots, were delayed by 2min+, waiting on systemd-networkd-wait-online.service. Further inspection showed that /etc/netplan was completely empty. Not surprising to me, as no network was configured during installation, but having the system still waiting for a network in this case was surprising. Creating the following file in /etc/netplan made boot fast again: $ cat /etc/netplan/01.yaml network: version: 2 ethernets: <nic-name>: optional: true This looks similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/2063331, but I opted to file a new bug because that one is "fix committed", and the user did configure one nic at least in that bug.
