[Bug 1718421] [NEW] VLAN config not working artful d-i

[Frank Heimes]

Public bug reported:

When specifying the VLAN config in d-i (at least with daily image Sept.
18th and 19th) the VLAN config is not properly processed.

Either the "Currently configured network parameters" summary in d-i is
entirely missing or the interface line doesn't show the device with the
VLAN suffix.

Hence "detecting link" takes very long and the network is not working
afterwards.

See details with 16.04.3 behavior compared to 17.10:


16.04.3:

Currently configured network parameters:
 
 interface     = encc000.1234          <=== okay !
 ipaddress     = 10.123.123.11
 netmask       = 255.255.255.0
 gateway       = 10.123.123.1
 pointopoint   = <none>
 nameservers   = 10.123.123.1
Is this information correct?
  1: Yes [*]  2: No


17:10:

Detecting link on encc000; please wait...    <=== took quite long

...
Please enter the hostname for this system.
 
The hostname is a single word that identifies your system to the network. If 
you don't know what your hostname should be, consult your network 
administrator. If you are setting up your own home network, you can make 
something up here.
Hostname:
Prompt: '?' for help, default=ubuntu> 
s1lp11
 
The domain name is the part of your Internet address to the right of your host 
...
===> means no "Currently configured network parameters" summary listed like with 16.04.3


===> and I had once the case where the summary lokked like this (VLAN suffix missing):

Currently configured network parameters:
 
 interface     = encc000        <=== ".1234" missing
 ipaddress     = 10.123.123.11
 netmask       = 255.255.255.0
 gateway       = 10.123.123.1
 pointopoint   = <none>
 nameservers   = 10.123.123.1
Is this information correct?
  1: Yes [*]  2: No
