A network interface in a cloud environment should not be set to manual startmode. It is possible to receive data from the data source where a network interface may not be marked as "auto". This used to trigger the network configuration to set the startmode to manual. Manual startmode in a cloud environment may trigger loss of access to the VM if the only interface is not brought up at boot time. This fix addresses the problem by setting the startmode to "hotplug". Thus if the interface exists it will be started, even if it is not marked as "auto" in the data that describes the interface.
