Description YunmingYang 2023-07-11 09:29:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Click "Create VM" to open the VM creation dialog. Then select "Installation type" to "Network boot(PXE)" and "Installation source" to an actual host NIC(like eno1). Then fill "Operating system", then click "Create and edit". Check the type of the network interface, it is "network", not "direct". Click "Install" of the VM, the type of the network interface is still "network".

Version-Release number of selected components (if applicable):
cockpit-292-1.el8.x86_64
cockpit-machines-295-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-dbus-1.3.0-2.module+el8.8.0+16781+9f4724c2.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1 Click "Create VM" to open the VM creation dialog
2 Select "Installation type" to "Network boot(PXE)" and "Installation source" to an actual host NIC(like eno1). Then fill "Operating system", then click "Create and edit".
3 Check the type of the network interface
4 Click "Install" of the VM, then check the type of the network interface

Actual results:
1 After step 3, the type is "network", not "direct"
2 After step 4, the type is still "network"

Expected results:
1 After step 3, the type should be "direct"
2 After step 4, the type is still "direct"
