[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-common v2 2/2] network: add nic prefix to physical nic regex

[Stefan Hanreich <s.hanreich@proxmox.com>]

With the introduction of pveeth, users can now pin their NICs with
prefix nicX. In order for our stack to correctly pick up the pinned
interfaces, we need to add this prefix to the regex used for detecting
physical interfaces.

In the future we should abandon this method of detecting physical
interfaces altogether, either by using `ip link` or talking Netlink
directly. For now, we add this as a stop-gap so the pveeth tool
proof-of-concept works.
