Bdtyktl

I'm trying 18.04 Server with this fancy new netplan and can't get my WiFi to work. Doing it the old-fashioned way (e.g. configuring wpa_supplicant.service and using dhclient), everything is fine. But with netplan I get syslog messages saying IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp2s0: link is not ready and networkctl has interface wlp2s0 as "no-carrier" and "configuring". Here's the relevant part of my 01-netcfg.yaml file:

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance

So chili555 seems to be wrong about IPv6, error persists even with static config. And George, the debug output looks OK to me. Also, the gateway should not be an issue right now, but yes, I use the last IP in the network...

Output of netplan --debug apply

=== Edit 2 due to comments

New .yaml fragment with dhcp4/6 ABOVE addresses, even though it works fine for Ethernet. Still in networkctl: No-carrier/configuring

  wifis:

    wlp2s0:

      dhcp4: false

      dhcp6: false

      addresses:

        - 172.20.12.195/24

        - fd13:4630:2901:12::195/64

      gateway4: 172.20.12.254

      access-points:

        "MyESSID":

          password: "MyPassword"

Also, sorry, but honestly: WTF? "Watch your indentation"? Where are we, grammar school? Is it supposed to stay like this? Especially since the (alternate) installer doesn't even give me the chance to configure networking during the installation if it detects DHCP...

=== Edit 3 due to sheer frustration

Just reinstalled (maybe my manual tinkering broke something) and took the setup-generated .yaml file as a template, so now it looks like this:

network:

  version: 2

  renderer: networkd

  ethernets:

    enp3s0:

      dhcp4: yes

  wifis:

    wlp2s0:

      dhcp4: yes

      access-points:

        "MyESSID":

          password: "MyPassword"

Still no luck, so please stop talking about the order of entries and indentation and stuff, I think it's just plain broken. At least in the alternate installer version of 18.04 server. Next stop: live-server install...
