Change subject: networkTests: remove a broken approach to unmanaging devices by 
NetworkManager
......................................................................


Patch Set 3:

Dan, I found the real reason. It is (of course!) not that the veth sides are 
up. When NM is running it somehow sets

  sysctl net.ipv6.conf.veth14.disable_ipv6=1

to any veth it manages. This affects setting of an IPv6 address only so the 
problem only really exists for a month or so. Do you know if we can turn some 
knobs to enable IPv6 in NM? I am not sure that adding [ipv6] method=auto to 
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf helps.

ipv6 settings in NM: 
https://developer.gnome.org/NetworkManager/0.9/ref-settings.html

Not even putting net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 0 and 
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 0 to /etc/sysctl.conf (which is symlinked 
to .d directory, of course) and rebooting to make sure (out of pure 
helplessness).

systctl: http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS6

Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Maybe, maybe it's a NM bug (that it 
seemingly ignores my configuration). But I need to replace this old hack _now_ 
so I can base all my work (including fixes to DHCP and gateway reporting) on 
the new NM_CONTROLLED=no approach. I'll try to locate a bug if it exists and as 
soon as most of my fixes are merged I will sit down and file the bug if it 
really is there.



As you asked, I prepared this text to the commit message:

"""
Current NetworkManager versions (certainly require this change):
      0.9.9.1-35.git20140326.4dba720.el7 and
      0.9.10.1-1.4.20150115git.fc21
"""
