Fetching the permanent MAC address of the interface instead of the default one allows to get the right one in case it got changed during setup (likely with a bonding setup). In order to fetch the permanent MAC address of a given interface, one can either use Netlink (either rtnetlink or ethtool), or use ethtool ioctl. The use of ioctl feels simpler and requires no additional dependency. The implementation falls back to older behavior should an error occur.

Ironic Python Agent
Team and repository tags
Overview
An agent for controlling and deploying Ironic controlled baremetal nodes.
The ironic-python-agent works with the agent driver in Ironic to provision the node. Starting with ironic-python-agent running on a ramdisk on the unprovisioned node, Ironic makes API calls to ironic-python-agent to provision the machine. This allows for greater control and flexibility of the entire deployment process.
The ironic-python-agent may also be used with the original Ironic pxe drivers as of the Kilo OpenStack release.
Building the IPA deployment ramdisk

Using IPA with devstack
This is covered in the Deploying Ironic with DevStack section of the Ironic dev-quickstart guide.
