Hi Pratik,

Thanks for adding tests. It looks like this is failing on riscv64,
probably because of the performances of the qemu machine:

AssertionError:
Failed ptests:
{'libpcap': 'START: ptest-runner\n'
            '2026-09-29T12:01\n'
            'Timeout! System state:\n'
            'Collected system state:\n'
            '+ dmesg\n'
	    ...
	    '\n'
            'ERROR: Exited from signal Killed (9)\n'
            'DURATION: 451\n'}

I did happen on my two runs:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/56/builds/2498
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/56/builds/2501

Can you have a look at it? It might be some timeout we can increase, or
maybe we have to disable this test on riscv.

Thanks,
Mathieu
