From: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@gmail.com>

Added possibility to change network namespace
for phy device by network namespace name from
/var/run/netns or by absolute file path:

    iw phy XXX set netns <nsname> | <pid>

First iw tries to find given nsname from /var/run/netns
or by absoute path (in case if nsname contains "/") and if
it failed to open nsname file then iw uses given argument as <pid>.

Also added missing NL80211 attributes before NL80211_CMD_SET_WIPHY_NETNS.

Hmm. I think it'd be better to do something like

iw phy XXX set netns name <nsname>

That way there's no way it can be a valid PID.

Otherwise, if you happen to have a file in your local directory that's
the name of the PID you want, weird things happen.

Please don't - I'll update nl80211.h by copying as needed.

OK, just to clarify with nl80211.h - you will update it including new
NL80211_ATTR_NETNS_FD ? If yes - I will wait for this change.

Thanks,

No, don't wait for it - just commit it locally separately for testing,
but send me only the actual code changes. I'll then do the update when I
apply your patch.
