   An update that has three recommended fixes can now be
   installed. It includes one version update.

Description:


   This collective update for YaST's network configuration
   module  (yast2-network) provides the following fixes:

   * Allow auto-enabling of all interfaces only during
   installation (bnc#782283)
   * Let curl follow redirects when downloading release
   notes package (bnc#781330)
   * When changing the system's host name, update Postfix
   configuration too (bnc#778665).

   Additionally, improvements and fixes to bonding and
   bridging support were  implemented in YaPI, the API used by
   WebYaST (FATE#313209):

   * Write: default BOOTPROTO to 'static', allow omitting
   IPADDR
   * Allow manipulating STARTMODE, don't assume 'auto'
   * Handle ETHERDEVICE and VLAN_ID
   * Make MTU configurable using YaPI
   * YaPI (re)Read: Don't append a slash to ipaddr like
   '1.2.3.4/8/'.
