With autoinstall, you would supply your own cloud-init file anyway, wouldn't you?

There, you can simply provide your netplan config as you like. Just omit the
"wifis" section in the netplan config. Something like:


#cloud-config
autoinstall:
  version: 1
  #  interactive-sections:  # Install groups listed here will wait for user input
  #    - storage
  #    - network
  #    - identity
  network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
      eth0:
        optional: true
        dhcp4: true
        dhcp4-overrides:
          send-hostname: false
