[ee122] MNL doesn't transmit Ack

[Lisa Fowler]

Please read the FAQ regarding MNL and port numbers.  This has been
discussed several times on the list as well.

MNL_sendto() allows the MNL subsystem to drop packets.  TestRecv
doesn't care to drop ACKs so it does not use MNL_sendto().

You do need to build support for MNL_sendto() into both your receiver
and your sender, but this necessitates the use of two MNLDaemons.
Please see the FAQ as well.

I hope this helps.
