It seems likely to be a bug in GLib related to having an IPv6 next-hop
even for IPv4 default routes, so is not something that's likely to be
fixed soon. Installing NetworkManager would probably work around it, but
I don't want to use N-M there.

Hopefully fwupd authors will consider adding a config option to assume
the network is functional without testing it.
