Is there any way to make ubuntu use the interface name automatically from kernel during kickstart?

Ubuntu 16.04 automated installation gives error, which I suppose is due to different interface names given depending on the hardware.



The kickstart configuration :



# Network information
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=ens160
