[cobbler] Networking snippnet with new network style names

[William Muriithi]

Hello

I have been struggling attempting to get cobbler to work with RHEL6.
The problem is, RHEL 6.8 is coming up with the interface name as em1,
but somehow, the kickstart snippet below end up assigning the
interface the name eth0.  I have temporarily  commented the snippet as
show below and was able to have a successful installation after that.

# Network information
#$SNIPPET('network_config')
network --onboot no --device em1 --bootproto dhcp --noipv6
network --onboot no --device em2 --bootproto dhcp --noipv6

Have anybody been able to get cobbler working with interface names
like em1 or p3p1?   My problem is,  I have different hardware and
therefore don't have flexibility of hard coding the interface name in
the kickstart.  Any pointer would be highly appreciated

Regard,

William
