No infiniband support in netplan renderer

[Darren Birkett]

Infiniband support has been added to both the sysconfig and eni renderers (at time of writing, eni support is unmerged from https://code.launchpad.net/~darren-birkett/cloud-init/+git/cloud-init/+merge/373759).

We need to add support to the netplan renderer too, but at this time netplan itself does not support the long form HWADDR that IB devices have. Once that is added, we should add support for infiniband devices in netplan too.

We started to work on this for upstream netplan: https://github.com/canonical/netplan/pull/283

Tracked as a feature on MAAS backlog (internal ref. PF-3204)

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Given that this is fixed in netplan.io is the netplan project task still valid?

[Lukas Märdian (slyon)]

No, it was implemented & released upstream as of https://github.com/canonical/netplan/pull/283 so the netplan project task can be closed.

FYI: The work will still be backported to Jammy via LP: #1988447
