[et-mgmt-tools] python-virtinst update - no install media option

[Brian L Scipioni]

Cole,

I forgot to mention a second variation in functionality with today's
update of python-virtinst.  Earlier today I could choose my "Connect to
host network" either virtual or shared physical device - which showed
"peth0" in the drop down box.  Later today their was no longer the drop
down box item to use - although I still have a "peth0" defined.

thanks,
brian
