    Description

      With the introduction of ARM64 macOS machines on CI (the only mentioned because these are real machines, not VMs) and the removal of insignificant in our auto-tests on this platform we noticed a problem. QNetworkInterface in its allInterfaces() returns an interface that is considered to be up and running, has a non-null IPv4 address but actually has IPv4 disabled/off and as a result, when running auto-tests against this interface, we end-up (e.g.) with 'Host-Unreachable'. See the more detailed comment from Tor Arne below. Attempts to use native frameworks are not very successful so far - the results are similar to what getifaddrs gives us.
