Network interfaces that provide multiline descriptions would crash their corresponding service. In case that the rule "Network interface and switch port discovery" was configured to "use description" for the "appearance of network interface", all interfaces of the device stalled and remained on the PENDING state. This is now fixed, yet you might need to rediscover your services.
