To me, it means just one more change while trying to get your
networking to work. Your OP finished with "It does not work and anyway
it does not seem to be what I want..." and "I suspect that the
solution is easier than what I'm trying to do...". Again, to me,
that suggests that after settling on a better, permanent solution
to your problem, you would roll back the other changes that you
made along the way.

My understanding of this statement is that "the context" is what
is described in your OP. As you said you "switched boot target to
text", I would assume you originally had a different target, likely
a DM, and that you might revert back to it after solving the problem.
