[poky] [jethro] Backport request for meta-yocto

[Joshua G Lock]

Hi Robert,

Could you please backport b253c6073be44090a19d1743deb58ef566853056 for
meta-yocto in jethro?

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto/commit/?id=b253c60
73be44090a19d1743deb58ef566853056

This helps alleviate some issues with the connectivity check, i.e. http
s://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9483

Thanks,

Joshua
