If I had to guess, I'd say that the network dependency issue ARM is talking about is the fact that we install an image over the wire, and that they probably want to do bare metal testing on systems that may not even have network support at all. I know that they've mentioned such things in the past, and the response has basically been that we chose this method of deployment based on the boards we care about testing. If they need to deploy things in a different way (usb, jtag, carrier pigeons...) a different deployment handler would need to be written to cover that.
Yes, we need networking for master image, but for android we also need it for the TARGET (adb) ... thats a pretty high requirement for the market we aim at :). So yes, LAVAv2 will (have to) cover blackbox testing and that is part of phase 1 or 2 of it which could mean Q3 or Q4 according to the roadmap I currently have in my mind.
