bookworm versus noble - i40e netdevice name discrepancy

[Robert Moulton]

Is it reasonable to presume that a proper fix would be expected with a
debian-trixie-based FAI release?

Following Thomas' suggestion, My current magic sed-foo work-around:

# diff  /var/tmp/30-interface.orig /srv/fai/config/scripts/DEBIAN/30-interface
86a87,91
>             # explicitly set noble-specific name for i40e device
>             driver=$(udevadm info /sys/class/net/$NIC1 | grep ID_NET_DRIVER | awk -F'[=]' '{ print $2 }')
>             if [[ "$driver" == "i40e" ]]; then
>                 sed -i -e "s/${NIC1}/${NIC1}np0/g" $target/etc/netplan/01-${NIC1}.yaml
>             fi
