 <8> The `nicSelector` mapping selects the Ethernet device for the Operator to configure. You do not need to specify values for all the parameters. It is recommended to identify the Ethernet adapter with enough precision to minimize the possibility of selecting an Ethernet device unintentionally.
 If you specify `rootDevices`, you must also specify a value for `vendor`, `deviceID`, or `pfNames`.
 If you specify both `pfNames` and `rootDevices` at the same time, ensure that they point to an identical device.
