    Description:

    This update for yast2-network provides the following fixes:

    interface. (bsc#950902)
    - Write udev rules for renamed devices for non-ssh/vnc AutoYaST
    installations. (bsc#956605)
    - Drop entry from /etc/hosts when deleting NIC configuration. (bsc#951330)
    - Fix validation of AutoYaST profiles. (bsc#954412)
    - When exporting AutoYaST profile, it contains DNS and route definitions
    even when these were configured using linuxrc. (bsc#956012, bsc#957377)
    - Do not raise internal error during AutoYaST installation with profile
    containing device renaming rule for not configured interfaces.
    (bsc#955217)
    - Do not set links down when running AutoYaST installation over vnc.
    (bsc#944349)
    - Renaming network devices during ssh/vnc installation is supported.
