That sounds pretty strange.. dmesg output may provide some more details.
Is this a 32-bit or 64-bit installation? Did kernel and Backports get
built for the same target? This should really happen automatically, but
I'm not sure what would cause this..

With those snapshot builds, I'd use "make defconfig-mac80211_hwsim" to
configure the package.


I've now went through a setup from scratch and wrote step-by-step guide
on how to get to a point that is pretty similar to the test coverage on
the buildbot.w1.fi test runs. This document is available here:
