No objections against the patch. Maybe we could use wiphy names for the network devices? That is, wmaster0 would become phy0 and so on. Using two names for the same thing is confusing. What's better is that we won't have wmaster0 corresponding to phy1 after the driver is reloaded. We'll have "phy1" in both namespaces. I wish we could hide those master devices using some "hidden network device" attribute, but it's not happening. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
