Commit de94e8697405 ("selftests: drv-net: store addresses in dict indexed by
ipver") just went it, so v6 needs to be addr_v['6'] and remote_v6 needs
to be remote_addr_v['6'].

s/ncdevmem/socat/ (or rename socat in the with block above)

This is also now require_ipver("6") I think..

Gonna try to run the selftest and see if anything else pops up...
