[Bug 1824483] [NEW] Subiquity DHCP bug

[mtsec]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS

There appears to be a bug in subiquity regarding the automatic
configuration of the network parameters via DHCP.

As the screenshots show, during the installation of Ubuntu Server
18.04.1 LTS, an IP address is assigned to the server via DHCP. When
running the Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS installer on the same server (see
the trailing end of the MAC addresses) with the same (default) settings,
no IP address is assigned during the network setup.

As this bug appeared in Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS, while it is not
present in Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 LTS, it seems to be a regression bug in
subiquity.

Information about the NIC in question can be found here:
