[Bug 1567744] [NEW] USB NICs get too long name for ifupdown aliases

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I have a USB NIC that is connected to my denial system. I tried to
create an alias, and after reboot, it wasn't created. When I manually
try to bring it up I have the error.

/e/n/i:

auto enx000ec688b79f
iface enx000ec688b79f inet static
        address 10.90.90.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0

auto enx000ec688b79f:1
iface enx000ec688b79f:1 inet static
        address 192.168.100.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
