#4566 Postscript confignics failed while configure multiple NIC on Ubuntu ppc64el

[Jia Zhao]

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 ppc64el
Script: confignics

The postscript 'confignics' on Ubuntu will generate wrong NIC config file as following:
root@nodee2:# cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth1
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 20.20.1.1
netmask 255.255.0.0
network 20.20.0.0
mtu

Attribute 'mtu' has empty value which cause interface eth1 started failed.

Can you include the node configuration on your environment for eth1?
and or can I take a look on your test machine?

1. Network attribute
   root@ppcmasterd:~# lsdef -t network -o public
   Object name: public
   domain=example.com
   gateway=9.21.52.2
   mask=255.255.255.0
   mgtifname=eth1
   net=9.21.52.0
   staticrange=9.21.52.167-9.21.52.254
   staticrangeincrement=1

2. Node attribute. There are public nic for this node.
   root@ppcmasterd:~# lsdef noded2 -i nicips,nicnetworks,nictypes,chain,installnic,profile,mgt,os,arch
   Object name: noded2
   arch=ppc64el
   chain=osimage=ubuntu14.04.1-ppc64el-stateless-compute:--noupdateinitrd
   installnic=eth0
   mgt=kvm
   nicips.eth0=26.26.26.5
   nicips.eth1=9.21.52.168
   nicnetworks.eth0=provision
   nicnetworks.eth1=public
   nictypes.eth0=Ethernet
   nictypes.eth1=Ethernet
   os=ubuntu14.04.1
   profile=compute

From Zhao jia's verification that this defect has been fixed in the latest snapshot build.

My guess is it was fixed by commit: 1638b793221d861581eb14595cd69d15be25555a
