Fai now generates a nice /etc/network/interfaces file with the new interface nameing scheme. No more eth0. However, Ubuntu 17.10 no longer uses /etc/network/interfaces.

"Ubuntu 17.10 introduces a new default configuration method for network devices, using netplan instead of ifupdown. Configuration is now written as YAML files to /etc/netplan instead of in /etc/network/interfaces."

That document implies you can install ifupdown to get the old behaviour. I think first I am going to try to writea script to generate these YAML files and put it in my FAI config.
