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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- 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. net/mac80211/iface.c | 1 + net/mac80211/main.c | 1 + 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+) --- wireless-testing.orig/net/mac80211/main.c 2009-07-14 00:29:34.000000000 +0200 +++ wireless-testing/net/mac80211/main.c 2009-07-14 00:30:10.000000000 +0200 @@ -620,6 +620,7 @@ struct ieee80211_hw *ieee80211_alloc_hw( if (!wiphy) return NULL; + wiphy->netnsok = true; wiphy->privid = mac80211_wiphy_privid; /* Yes, putting cfg80211_bss into ieee80211_bss is a hack */ --- wireless-testing.orig/net/mac80211/iface.c 2009-07-14 00:30:05.000000000 +0200 +++ wireless-testing/net/mac80211/iface.c 2009-07-14 00:30:10.000000000 +0200 @@ -787,6 +787,7 @@ int ieee80211_if_add(struct ieee80211_lo name, ieee80211_if_setup); if (!ndev) return -ENOMEM; + dev_net_set(ndev, wiphy_net(local->hw.wiphy)); ndev->needed_headroom = local->tx_headroom + 4*6 /* four MAC addresses */ -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
