[Bug 1510345] Re: [SRU] Cloud Images do not bring up networking w/ certain virtual NICs due to device naming rules

[Martin Pitt]

Setting net.ifnames=0 in livecd-rootfs was a quick hack for wily, but
this is really inconvenient. This means that the cloud images now stop
being usable for non-cloud workloads (or even for cloud workloads with
multiple NICs).

The proper fix would be for cloud-init to generate a network config on
first boot, for the first /sys/class/e* interface, instead of shipping a
hardcoded /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0.cfg. Can we please do this for
xenial?

** Also affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** No longer affects: cloud-init (Ubuntu Wily)

** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: New => Triaged
