    Disable WiFi interface on boot 18.04

    I have a 18.04 headless server that I’d like to disable the WiFi interface on boot. Using ifconfig wlp2s0 down will take it down but I’d like to disable on every boot. Researching it a bit shows I need to use netplan but can find not references on the exact netplan structure.

    Thanks for any help

    Why not blacklisting the driver?

    What does your netplan file look like now?
    Code:
    cat /etc/netplan/*.yaml
