My main point is that even if we fix the HW setups to do the right thing in systemd policies - the tests are running against netdevsim, not the precious HW present on those setups. The HW setups have actual physical NICs, driver tests are expected to use netdevsim if $NETIF is not set, and if set whatever existing netdev $NETIF is pointing to. I don't remember the history, it's quite possible that Breno wanted to have a separate target for netcons from the start and I pushed back. I think we reached the point where we want to create a target.
