networkTests: give an instructory message when an address could not be added On recent Fedoras and EL7 NetworkManager sets the sysctl property disable_ipv6 on some interfaces (including veths) silently, as a workaround to IPv6LL (link-local address) assignment clash between NM and the kernel, see e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1102064 In the next commits this problem will be addressed by telling NM to unmanage our veth pairs and dummy devices.
