To support network namespace the driver must assure all created network interfaces are in the same namespace as the wiphy instance and flag the support using WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK. Verified using two terminals: Terminal 1 Terminal 2 -------------------------- --------------------------------- # ip netns add brcm-wifi # iw dev phy#0 Interface wlan3 ifindex 11 wdev 0x1 # ip netns exec brcm-wifi bash # iw dev # echo $$ 20337 # iw phy0 set netns 20337 # iw dev phy#0 Interface wlan3 ifindex 11 wdev 0x2 # iw phy0 interface add wl3.ap type __ap # iw dev phy#0 Interface wl3.ap ifindex 2 wdev 0x3 Interface wlan3 ifindex 11 wdev 0x2 # iw dev # iw phy0 set netns 1 # iw dev # iw dev phy#0 Interface wl3.ap ifindex 2 wdev 0x5 Interface wlan3 ifindex 11 wdev 0x4 Note: increasing wdev identifier above indicates issue in cfg80211 which is addressed separately.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
