Now that the network namespace work is in net-2.6.24, I'm wondering how wireless will be handling this. Is there any benefit at all to a wireless device supporting network namespaces? Should we, for now, set the new NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL flag for all mac80211 devices? If we do want to support moving, then we'll have to make cfg80211 (preferably, though mac80211 might be easier at first) migrate *all* virtual interfaces associated with the same wiphy because otherwise we'll get into trouble when moving one virtual interface and then somebody in the other namespace changes its operating channel. johannes
