After all this wasn’t a issue caused by cockpit, it had to do with the fact that my Ubuntu 17.04 didn’t use network manager for managing the interfaces, I had to install network-manager then set the config to managed=true and also run

sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf 
sudo service network-manager restart

Then I relogged into cockpit and all worked fine!!
