When testing for connectivity Use NetCat instead of ping to test BMC and NTP connection, since some firewalls might block ICMP. On the ohter hand the "bmc_ip" variable should not be required for vendor: PXE

Theres another ping for testing network connectiveity after appling the network config. Could you update this one as well. https://github.com/redhat-partner-solutions/crucible/blob/main/roles/apply_nmstate/tasks/main.yml#L40

@nocturnalastro in this case it is OK to have a ping because that IP address does not correspond to any type of service so I wouldn't know to which port NetCat should probe. Besides it is configurable to any host the user chooses.
