    Description:

    This update for wicked fixes the following issues:

    - ethernet: Do not fail when ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET fails. (bsc#900401,
    bsc#900112)
    - dbus: Omit ethernet speed, duplex, autoneg properties if not supported
    by the driver.
    - ethtool: Independent ioctl requests are handled separately: if one fails
    it should not stop the following ones.
    - wireless: Request association even if link was up; linkup indicates
    association, rather than explicit linkAssociate event. (bsc#893665)
    - bonding: Ignore redundant slaves in configs with a warning.
    - fsm: Generate default config for children in existing relation.
    - compat: Prefer /etc/hostname over /etc/HOSTNAME and warn about missed
    global configs. (bsc#887910)
