Hi,

we have detected small missconfigurations on provisioning EL9 distributions.

After provisioning EL9 (in our case RedHat 9.4), the network setup is wrong. We are using vlans and add on the host one interface (unmanaged) with its name (f. e. eno6) and add an additional interface with the vlan tag (eno6.10 - managed, virtual interface). The root cause is the interface name / identifier name detection in 'kickstart_networking_setup.rb' snippet.

The preview looks like this:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$sanitized_real
BOOTPROTO="none" 
IPADDR="192.168.1.5" 
NETMASK="255.255.255.0" 
GATEWAY="192.168.1.1" 
DOMAIN="linux.infra" 
DEVICE=$real
ONBOOT=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
DEFROUTE=yes
DNS1="192.168.1.2" 
VLAN=yes
MTU=1500
EOF-b6b17c26

The problem is, that $real is "eno6.10.10" instead of "eno6.10". This happens in kickstart_ifcfg_get_identifier_names

<%=     "real=`grep -l #{@interface.inheriting_mac} /sys/class/net/*/{bonding_slave/perm_hwaddr,address} 2>/dev/null | awk -F '/' '// {print $5}' | head -1`" -%>

If I run this manually on the server, this is the output:

eno6.10

So if I changed the line to not only query bonding interfaces, the lookup works. I think, thats not a perfect solution, but it I tried ;)

Thanks
