The ping_server/ping_client test has been developed for a scenario where the server runs on one machine and prints its log messages
to a serial port and the client runs on a different machine and its run script reads the log messages from the serial port for
synchronization with the server.

When I just tried the test after commenting out these synchronization parts, the client showed the following error message:

"[init -> nic_drv] could not configure /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation"

This error message only occurred when the server was running, so it appears that it is not possible to have two instances of
'nic_drv' running at the same time on the same Linux host.

So, for now you could try to run either the client or the server on a separate machine (hardware or Qemu/VirtualBox) or to build
either the client or the server as native Linux application (that's what the 'network_test' does).
