+Subject: [PATCH] redhat: Add a udev rule to avoid managing slave NICs with
+ NetworkManager
+
+RH-Author: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>
+RH-MergeRequest: 16: redhat: Add a udev rule to avoid managing slave NICs with NetworkManager
+RH-Jira: RHEL-5880
+RH-Acked-by: Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito <eesposit@redhat.com>
+RH-Acked-by: Miroslav Rezanina <mrezanin@redhat.com>
+RH-Commit: [1/1] 8d0a87117c847aafec5fa97d3e4e74ade531c033 (vkuznets/WALinuxAgentCentOS)
+
+This is borrowed from https://github.com/Azure/azure-vm-utils/pull/41 and
+the long term plan is to get azure-vm-utils packaged for RHEL
+eventually. For the time being, just put the required udev rule into
+WALinuxAgent package.
