Previously, changing network interface drivers from bnx2 to e1000 on VLAN tagged network interfaces would fail. The driver would revert to bnx2, and vendor information would no longer be displayed. This was because the VLAN tag changed the name of the interface, and the properties of the parent interface weren't parsed correctly.
Now, the udev properties of the parent interface are used with the tagged interface, and the interface is populated with the correct vendor information. The bnx2 driver remains the selected driver instead of reverting to e1000.

Description of problem:
In vlan ENV, choose the bnx2 nic and configure it with dhcp, the nic driver change from bnx2 to e1000, and the vendor info will disappear.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhev-hypervisor6-6.3-20120913.0.el6_3
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. TUI Install RHEV-H.
2. Enter Network detail page, focus on nic driver (The nic driver show as bnx2).
3. Configure the bnx2 nic with DHCP and vlan ID (e.g. 20)
4. Focus in nic driver and vendor info again.
5. Disable network and check the nic driver.
Actual results:
1. Nic driver change from bnx2 to e1000 after configured in vlan ENV.
2. Vendor info will disappear too.
3. The bnx2 driver will back after disable network.
Expected results:
Configured network in vlan should not affect nic driver.
