Control: serverity -1 important

I am lowering the severity as this is common reflection of problems
elsewhere disguising as a problem with laptop-mode-tools.


Couple of things to mention:

* If you know of the persistent name for your interface, can you
populate that into the /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/ethernet.conf and see if
that helps

* From the logs that you've shared on the bug report, I'm lost. That
log is huge. laptop-mode-tools will apply power savings to ethernet
device. On boot, this happens quite early on. And probably that is
causing the problem. But I'd still like to see what holds the device so
long that NetworkManager fails to rename it. Does disabling the
`ethernet` module in laptop-mode-tools solve your problem ? If so, as a
workaround you can start with disabling it. And then try to investigate
what may be causing the device to remain busy for so long.

* There's a valid bug report #925944, where a side-effect of enabling
power savings on the ethernet device results in NetworkManager not
considering the device. I am not sure how that should be solved because
how other tools (like NetworkManager, avahi etc) behave is beyond the
scope. But, if the integration of these tools do not work proper,
disabling one of the tools (like laptop-mode-tools) or a particular
hardware power savings (like ethernet module), could be a viable
option.


Coming up with an ideal default is challenging and I struggle to find a
balance. We do have /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/board-specific/ . It is
documented in the manpage.


For the case of #925944, I think we should remove eth0 from the default
list. Because most devices these days have a unique persistent name and
it is best left to the user to find out the name and populate it in the
configuration file. That is what my upload today, 1.73.1-2 does.
