Comment 2 for bug 1605420

Same problem on Mitaka 9.1. Dell R630 has integrated 2x10Gbit + 2x1Gbit and additional 2x10Gbit card.

PCIe Slot 3 Intel(R) 10GbE 2P X520 Adapter 8x or x8
Embedded 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection N/A
Embedded 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection N/A
Embedded Intel(R) x520 DP 1Gb BT + DP 10Gb SFP+ Rack NDC N/A
Embedded Intel(R) x520 DP 1Gb BT + DP 10Gb SFP+ Rack NDC

Only the first interface (eno1) is getting link with bootstrap image, for the others ethtool shows "Link detected: no".

However dmesg shows that each port have had a link on boot (but disabled at later stage perhaps?):

          drv probe link

Now when I add interface profile under /etc/network/interfaces.d - like:
--- EXAMPLE ---
root@bootstrap:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces.d/ifcfg-eno2
auto eno2
iface eno2 inet static
    address 192.30.10.11/24
--- EXAMPLE ---

... and do 'ifup eno2', then interface will be up!

root@bootstrap:~# ethtool eno2

Why isnt fuel bootstrap image bringing these interfaces up correctly?
