    An update that has 14 recommended fixes can now be installed.

    Description:


    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 Installer System received a collective
    update that addresses many issues. The following fixes are included:

    hwinfo:

    - Look for smbios entry point also in EFI settings. (bsc#1010276)
    - Look for DMI table also in sysfs. (bsc#1010276)
    - Add permanent MAC address field for network cards. (bsc#1007172)
    - Ensure network devices have a bus_id. (bsc#1007172)
    - Update PCI and USB IDs. (bsc#1006818)
    - Implement nvdimm support. (bsc#970111)
    - Fix detection of usb controllers on aarch64 systems. (bsc#1005428)
    - Update script to parse USB ID list correctly.

    yast2:

    - Add-on module: Do not escape characters like ":" in the path string.
    (bsc#966413)
    - Added method to adapt old configuration of enslaved network interfaces.
    (bsc#962824)
    - Use canonical path in save_y2logs. (bsc#1001454)
    - Fix replacement of workflow modules. (bsc#1011869)
    - Add a method to read the ID property from the /etc/os-release file.
    (bsc#1016004)

    yast2-network:

    - When an interface is enslaved in a bond the udev rule is modified using
    the bus_id instead of the mac address but some multi-port cards could
    use the same bus_id. In such cases also the dev_port is needed. Taking
    this in account the dev_port will be added always when a udev rule based
    on bus_id is written. (bsc#1007172, bsc#1005721)
    - Bridge handling has been improved: (bsc#962824)
    - "NONE" is shown instead of 0.0.0.0 for old bridge configuration.
    - The bridge master is shown in the enslaved interface.
    - The interfaces overview is updated after a bridge is modified.
    - The interfaces enslaved are not lost when save in a different tab.
    - Do not crash with internal error stating undefined method when switching
    to "Hostname / DNS" tab when the system contains incorrect configuration
    of DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME. (bsc#1012581)
    - New implementation of setting hostname via DHCP. User is allowed to set
    hostname via particular interface or set a reasonable default value for
    all interfaces. (bsc#984890)
    - Fixed the assignment of udev rules to Lan Items when a previous one does
    not exist. (bsc#996879)
