This is a tests only change. Several networking tests appear to fail intermittently on recent Mac machines. In most cases an Apple Peer-to-Peer, awdl0, interface, has been seen to be chosen by the test, for some operation or other, when enumerating the set of network interfaces on the machine. Such an interface may not be suitable to perform the operation required by the test, and thus best avoided.

For now, I’ve done the minimum possible here to get the tests back to a reasonable shape, but I expect that we can do further clean up and consolidation in the future. -Chris.
