Subject: [PATCH 0/2] wireless: Allow wiphy/hwsim management from user namespaces

This patch set enables user namespaces having CAP_NET_ADMIN to manage
wiphy devices and create/destroy hwsim radios.

The first patch allows a caller from a non-initial user namespace to run
privileged nl80211 phy/dev operations. The second patch enables hwsim
radio management over Netlink from such namespaces. Together, with these
patches an unprivileged test environment can create user/network
namespaces and set up abitrary simulated wireless networks.

Martin Willi (2):
  nl80211: Allow privileged operations from user namespaces
  mac80211_hwsim: Allow managing radios from non-initial namespaces
