Description Juerg Haefliger 2013-04-09 06:35:00 UTC 
cloud-init fails to display networking information on boot in an OpenStack environment. I.e., the following is displayed even though the network is up at that time:

I believe the problem is in cloudinit/netinfo.py due to the fact the output of 'ifconfig -a' in Fedora 18 is different from other distros.

Also, we might not even _have_ ifconfig. (net-tools is a leaf package.) It would be better to use 'ip' (from iproute, which is a core dependency.

That's right, see bug #784314
