• Type: Enhancement

• Impact: Low

• How was this pull request tested?

On my SLES15-SP6 test VM:

# usr/sbin/rear -v mkrescue
...
Skipping network interface 'lo': not bound to any physical interface.
...

# usr/sbin/rear -d mkrescue
...
Handling network interface 'eth0'
eth0 is a physical device
Handled network interface 'eth0'
Skipping network interface 'lo': not bound to any physical interface.
...

• Description of the changes in this pull request:

In rescue/GNU/Linux/310_network_devices.sh
show more consistent texts in user messages
in particular to avoid during "rear -v mkrescue"
the "lonely" message

Skipping 'lo': not bound to any physical interface.

without any context
in contrast to "rear -d mkrescue"

Handling network interface 'eth0'
eth0 is a physical device
Handled network interface 'eth0'
Skipping 'lo': not bound to any physical interface.

where the context (handling network interfaces) is clear.

Also do not in any case silently skip
interfaces which are not 'up'
but show that (at least) in debug mode.
