Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The RTEMS network stack needs to be explicitly initialized in a platform-specific manner. However, the barebone/minimal BSP that runs the unit tests does not do this initialization. Therefore when running the network tests, it just gives an immediate error:

[BEGIN] 01 TestDatagramNetworkApi
rtems-net: network sema obtain: network not initialised

fatal error, exiting

Describe the solution you'd like
Not clear at this point. The network init is quite board specific (refers to a specific nic driver) so probably doesn't fit as part of the OSAL BSP. Suggest just documenting this limitation.

Additional context
As the network tests only use the loopback address (127.0.0.1) it might be possible to bring up the RTEMS network stack with only this interface and no "real" nic. That might be a possibility to get these tests to run without making the BSP too complicated.
