I hadn't realized modprobe would load the module even when the specified
argument does not exist. This is quite inconvenient in this specific
case, but I guess we could make start.sh explicitly verify that the
needed parameeter is supported and if not, refuse to start and request
mac80211_hwsim to be updated.

This does not require a kernel change, i.e., it is enough to update the
Wi-Fi components with Backports. buildbot.w1.fi uses the standard Ubuntu
14.04 kernel, but a recent Backports snapshot build from
http://buildbot.w1.fi/backports-wireless-testing/
