Subject: [PATCH 3/3] mac80211: allow using network namespaces
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:33:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090713223413.628454212@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090713223333.042733013@sipsolutions.net

This finally opens up the ability to put mac80211 devices
into different network namespaces. As long as you don't
have sysfs, that is.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
---
Semantically, this depends on both
  mac80211: cooperate more with network namespaces
and
  cfg80211: make aware of net namespaces

but in the code only the latter dependency is obvious,
so I'm sending it as a separate patch.
