Nornir/Netmiko - "Timed-out reading channel, data not available" after update to Netmiko 3.0

Similar vein to issue 1656, I am seeing time out issues running netmiko ssh polls to arista devices that do not support the setting of terminal width in a non enabled context. This used to work in the previous version of netmiko as it did not enforce the searching and successful return of running the term width command.

the previous iteration had the below:

delay_factor = self.select_delay_factor(delay_factor)
command = self.normalize_cmd(command)
self.write_channel(command)
**output = self.read_until_prompt()** 

but the new version tries looking for it regardless of cmd_verify being explicity let to false:

# Avoid cmd_verify here as terminal width must be set before doing cmd_verify
if cmd_verify and self.global_cmd_verify is not False:
    output = self.read_until_pattern(pattern=re.escape(command.strip()))
elif pattern:
    output = self.read_until_pattern(pattern=pattern) <---
else:
    output = self.read_until_prompt()

Hi Kirk - thanks for the tip - just reporting back that that seems to work. Haven’t had much time to mull over the code by will do soon. Might have more questions to add to this thread.
