Description

Virtual interfaces can have same MAC addresses so we should validate uniqueness only for physical interfaces. I'll add ancestry to NICs table, parents will be physical interfaces.

Since Foreman now uses tokens by default, I wonder if we can turn the uniquess off completely.

I don't think it's a good idea to turn off validation. At least it will let you know that you may have some conflicting device. On the other hand, our validation may be to strict for NICs belonging to different subnets. If you think it's and issue, could you please open another issue?

We should add also some UI to define various network types. Also we should parse facts and create/update interfaces. Hence changing back to assigned.
