Public bug reported:
Since initramfs networking is rather limited, a simple flag to reset
networking afterwards (or not to generate netplan files) would be
valuable. The intended effect is to allow fully featured networking
tools to set up the network afterwards.
Use cases include the following, in comination with networking-enabled
initramfs:
* Multiple IPs on a single interface
* Adding search domains
* Unlocking root over SSH on a different network than will be used afterwards
* Using DHCP for initramfs and static later
There are numerous workarounds floating around, as well as questions on
this behaviour. Netplan has made this even more difficult to get around,
since it does not provide an equivalent to 'service networking restart'.
As of Ubuntu 20.04, I have not even found any workaround that actually
works.
