hello Lucas,

thanks for the patch, I tested it and verified it successfully on some
items belonging to the 'filter' category.

>From what I see, it is a fix for the reported problem (e.g. tests failing
because of 'nsPlugin' uninstalled). And, I want to followup fixing the
bpf.json in tc-actions, so that

# ./tdc.py  -l -c bpf | grep eBPF
 e939: (actions, bpf) Add eBPF action with valid object-file
 282d: (actions, bpf) Add eBPF action with invalid object-file
 
require the buildebpfPlugin (unless anybody disagrees, I will also revert
the meaning of '-B' also, like you did for '-n')

few comments after a preliminary test:
1) the patch still does not cover the two categories that use $DEV2 (i.e.
flower and concurrency still fail in my environment)

2) I've been reported, and reproduced with latest fedora, a problem in
nsPlugin.py. All tests in the 'filter' category still fail, unless I do

# sed -i "s#ip#/sbin/ip#g" nsPlugin.py

otherwise, the 'prepare' stage fails:

# ./tdc.py  -e  5339
 -- ns/SubPlugin.__init__
Test 5339: Del entire fw filter

-----> prepare stage *** Could not execute: "$TC qdisc add dev $DEV1 ingress"

-----> prepare stage *** Error message: "/bin/sh: ip: command not found
"
returncode 127; expected [0]

-----> prepare stage *** Aborting test run.

(maybe we should use a variable for that, instead of hardcoded command
name, like we do for $TC ?)
