Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH installer] auto: answer: netif pinning: transform mac addresses into lowercase
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 15:51:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260114145208.1500825-1-c.heiss@proxmox.com> (raw)
Users may specify MAC addresses in the network interface pinning map in
an uppercase format, which is more common than lowercase in some
environments.
This would then cause the auto-installer to mistakenly consider these
addresses as unknown - thus just unconditionally convert all MAC
addresses to lowercase while parsing.
