Bug Description
[Impact]
Users who need the brcmfmac driver (in one form or another, specifically those not covered by brcmfmac-sdio) to make their wireless network function.
[Test case]
1) Install updated nplan package on nanopi-air
2) Verify that when running 'netplan apply', the network is not brought down by a rebind event on the network interface.
[Regression potential]
Network failures due to rebinding or failing to rebind the network interface, as well as incorrectly applying the settings in a netplan config on the network interfaces, would be possible regressions from this update.
---
while bug #1696162 fixes the breakage on unbind for brcmfmac-sdio it does not fix it for the plain brcmfmac driver like used on the nanopi-air.
