Feature #338

Don't use MAC address as matching parameter when using "spoof"
Description
When using the 'spoof' unattended installation option from a host on the local network, the MAC address (if available) is still used to determine which host profile to render the kickstart for.
This patch ignores the MAC address if using the ?spoof=<ip.addr> option. This is required for our environment, as we don't directly control DHCP/DNS so use the spoof option to obtain the correct kickstart file.

would you consider refactoring the code that if using spoof, it simply doesn't go to that bit of code?
I think it would be cleaner if all of the additional checks will not be performed if we are in spoof mode.

This seems to me a bit hackish.. I'll try to refactor the logic.... newer patches are welcome :)

would you mind refactoring the patch along side with the patch for #359?

additionally, the latest version uses the MAC address if it exists, ignoring the ip address altogether, maybe this solves your original issue?

I'm removing the feedback status so a bored developer can update the patches

It should be working with 1.1. Please, don't hesitate to reopen the bug if it is not the case!
