Dear Maintainer,

1. BOOTIF option not used.
in file: 9990-networking.sh, line 57 there should be this change:
DEVICE=${device##*/}
change to
ETHDEVICE=${device##*/}

As you can see by the subsequent logic, it will basically ignore this
setting and on a multi-interface
system possibily use the wrong interface to do ipconfig.

2. For BOOTIF to be used, it must pass
         if [ -z "${NETBOOT}" ] && [ -z "${FETCH}" ] && [ -z "${HTTPFS}"
] && [ -z "${FTPFS}" ]
This will mean typical FAI setup's will as typically root will be set to
root=/dev/nfs and in the script's this will always set
NETBOOT to nfs and hence BOOTIF won't be used.
BOOTIF should be considered even if NETBOOT is not empty.

By making these modification I can confirm typical FAI setup are working
where multiple network interface exists.

Please close this as this is a duplicate of 724603

merge 724603 724605
thanks
