I wrote those tests.  I think you are right; at some point I refactored the
code unit test to add multiple interfaces to the receiver node, to test some
broadcast things, but forgot to attach the newly created netdevice to a
channel.  Since it's point-to-point netdevices I'm testing with, the code
needs two netdevices also in the transmitter node, not just in the
receiver...

If you can wait a few hours, I'll fix the unit tests.

Sorry.
