In mac80211-next a call to get_net_ns_by_fd() has been added in cfg80211
which resides in networking core. This function has been backported
such that it will always fail, ie. as it would when CONFIG_NET_NS
is not defined. The call was added by:

When we are on a kernel which exports this function like 3.20, this code
should not get compiled in. Your should add something like this:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE<  KERNEL_VERSION(3,20,0)

That indeed makes sense. Thanks.

Arend
