Hello everyone,

Recently, we had request from our customer to provide feature to
change node's interfaces names.

I have researched it a little bit and it seems like there is no big
problem to implement it.

I have hacked nailgun agent to send non-standard names to api and node
was provisioned successfully with

custom interfaces names.


This part of the code updates interfaces-networks assignment and we
can update interfaces names here, too.
https://github.com/stackforge/fuel-web/blob/stable/5.1/nailgun/nailgun/network/manager.py#L586-L600

Then, we can update interfaces names using cli immediately.
###############
- assigned_networks: []
  current_speed: 100
  id: 10
  mac: 52:bf:dd:5e:f3:13
  max_speed: 100
  name: eth0 # here we can replace iface name with something else
  state: up
  type: ether
###############

Fuel UI. Here, type of the interface name field should be modified to
be changeable. And, than, UI can generate proper

api request.

One thing here which make sense it's that bootstraped nodes send data
request with real interfaces names from time to time. And, conflict
may be occurred. I didn't check it.

What do think about this feature guys?
