[Bug 1925335] Re: subiquity installer : ibmveth disabled by default

[Michael Hudson-Doyle]

wpa_supplicant is not part of the server seed, so by default a server
install could only join an unencrypted wifi network, which doesn't seem
very useful. There is a chance that we will do the work to make wifi
work properly at some point, but we're not there yet.

Title:
  subiquity installer : ibmveth disabled by default

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi,

  on PowerVM, when installing a ppc64el LPAR (P8, P9, P10) with an ibmveth network interface,
  this one is disabled by default even if it works and has a working DHCP server entry leading
  subiquity installer to propose to "Continue without network" whereas it actually has network.

  One just need to edit the configuration of the specific network interface,
  select (in my case) "IPv4 Method" and switch it from "Disabled" to "Automatic (DHCP)".
  Once that this is saved, the interface gets its IP address.

  Not sure why it is disabled by default.

  Would it be possible to have ibmveth interfaces enabled by default as other interfaces
  seems to be ?

  This happens on 20.04, 21.04.

  Thanks,
  F.
