@Ubuntu: this problem will be fixed by a change in the IBM z/VM code. No change in Linux required.

  Further debug shows that it is the "ip link set enccw0.0.f5f0 up" that
  is failing with "RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted".  Looking
  for further debug assistance in determining why the CAP_NET_ADMIN
  check for the root user running ip might be failing.
