Move WiFi interface in namespace

[Tobias Eckl]

Hi all,

I managed to move ethernet interfaces from the root namespace to another namespace via.

db_root=IPDB()

with db_root.interfaces["name"] as eth:

    eth.net_ns_fd = "test"

Unfortunately this doesn't work with wireless interfaces.
I already found out that in order to move a wifi interface I have to move the corresponding PHY into the namespace.

Is there a way to achieve this using the pyroute2 package?

Best regards,
Tobias

I didn't try yet, so I have to test, but I believe one can move a WiFi PHY in a netns in the same way as any other interface.

I'll try tonight, we'll see.

Yep, I've got the problem. To move a wifi interface now one should use the IW class, but one has to create the request manually, and it's a bit complicated.

Give me some time to make a decent wrapper for that functionality.
