Description
This clones FACT-1761 and specifically targets Facter 4
How to reproduce
> facter
The problem
Facter does not include the mac (hardware) address of infiniband interfaces in its output.
Proof of regression
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1415
More info
The interface itself is present along with all the information provided for ethernet interfaces but just not the mac address.
As in the linked bug report, the information can still be found by using ip link or cat /sys/class/net/$DEV/address
Debug shows that Facter successfully queries the interface via ip link but does not use the address further, only the MTU.
