[Bug 1770455] [NEW] wrong mac address on netplan bridge

[Paul Gauret]

Public bug reported:

Trying to configure a bridge with netplan and adding an ethernet
interface to it.

network:
  version: 2
  renderer: networkd
  ethernets:
    eno1:
      dhcp4: true
  bridges:
    br0:
      interfaces: [eno1]
      dhcp4: true
      parameters:
        forward-delay: 0
        stp: false


Bridge comes up, however gets a randomly assigned MAC address. Expectation would be that the bridge takes the mac address from the member ethernet interface (eno1 here). 

Workaround is to add a  "macaddress: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" parameter to the
bridge definition, manually hard coding the mac address of the member
ethernet interface.
