Summary0001521: Add support for command line changes to DEVICE parameter
DescriptionIn some circumstances, the network interface specified in the DEVICE= parameter may not match network interface name in the ifcfg-X configuration filename. For example:

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth4
DEVICE=eth2
TYPE="Ethernet"
... snip ...

The configuration for "eth4" gets re-mapped to network interface "eth2".

The ClearOS API does not support this type of re-mapping, but this type of configuration should be supported for command line changes. Update the network API to handle this scenario.

The current code can already handle the case where DEVICE=xyz does not match ifcfg-xyz, though in a roundabout way. This code is scheduled to be deprecated in ClearOS 7, so consider it closed for 6.
