[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-manager 2/2] network-interface-pinning: allow arbitrary names

[Stefan Hanreich]

With the changes to physical interface detection in pve-common and
pve-manager, it is now possible to use arbitrary names for physical
interfaces in our network stack. This allows the removal of the
existing, hardcoded, prefixes.
