The error seems to be due to an incompatibility between the koan
version and whatever spacewalk 1.8 is using. In 2.2.3, the "bonding"
field was change to "interface_type", in order to support bridges.
You'll need to downgrade koan to a version that matches the version of
cobbler spacewalk is using.
