By the way, the netns support is another good reason to switch from the debugfs interfaces to a netlink-based interface (as the netlink interface wouldn't need userspace applications like batctl to be aware of the namespaces). I guess I should finally finish the patches I started writing for that...
So what is your suggestion here? Should the namespace support for namespaces be rejected and you send in your netlink implementation patches? Or should this patch be merged and be removed (together with the rest of the debugfs stuff) when your netlink support is integrated?
Hi Sven
I would expect the debugfs code to stay around for a while, so people have a chance to upgrade their batctl and alfred to the new API. We probably need one release with both?
