Moving it over to the netplan.io project, as nplan is deprecated. I think we actually have an upstream way of matching Type=ether nowadays (as of systemd v245+), so we should reconsider implementing a fix for this.

Expectation: Specifying a wildcard rule in a netplan configuration file for ethernet devices should tell the configured networking system to only consider ethernet devices and nothing else.
