Bug #23583
openAdditional NICs do not populate NIC/Interface information tables
Description
We have been adding secondary NICs to our hosts (for now all VMs). When we rerun puppet, we see that NIC information populated in the facts. We see a new object show up in interfaces/NICs, with the correct interface name. However, there is no other information about the NIC. We would expect to see the MAC, IPV4/6 info, etc. Instead it shows as a new object, with the correct identifier name, however there is no other information displayed about the interface. I also noticed that the interfaces in foreman will show as VirtualE1000, even though in ESX they are set to VMXNET3.

Fact values on host showing the networking information:
Here is the esx configuration showing it is VMXNET3 vs. what Foreman is reporting:
Here is the networking config from the server:
