Comment 3 for bug 1940860

> we should be careful to ignore NICs with randomly generated MACs (see bug 1936972).

ugh nics with LAA?

yeah, it can be hard to 'uniquely' identify a nic, especially since it's so common to clone macs for bonds, bridges, vlans, and in some cases even duplicate hw devices with the same nic (e.g. bug 1843381).

> My initial thought is that perhaps subiquity installs should do what MAAS installs do and configure netplan to always use the install-time names.

I'm generally not a fan of how MAAS configures netplan to force-rename interfaces; that sounds to me like it's destined for interface naming collisions. But I don't have any better immediate suggestion for 'foolproof' matching of all possible nics that might exist across all kernel driver versions, either.
