Deployment of OCP on r650 hardware was having issues with IP assignment on the private and public interfaces, required for the lab setup.
It seems that during startup RHCOS configures all interfaces using DHCP. Configuring the public NIC as unmanaged by NetworkManager later during statup does not have the desired effect. We therefore disable the public NIC with a new udev rule.
