i think we could follow the systemd namespace here.. some examples:
* matching a netdev by name
this would select the second onboard network device to be used:
live-boot.netdev-match.name=eno2
* matching a netdev by mac address
this would select the network device that has a given mac address:
live-boot.netdev-match.macaddress=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
* matching a netdev by a certain ip address (or subnet)
if there are multiple interfaces, and they have all dhcp or a
preconfigured static address inside the image, then
select the first one that is in the given subnet (or has a
given address):
live-boot.netdev-match.address=196.168.0.0/24
or something like that..

Daniel
