Subject: [PATCH][IPROUTE2] Support device movement between network namespaces

Hi Stephen,

I don't know if anyone has already sent you this patch for iproute2 to
enable movement of network devices between network namespaces. 
(Daniel Lezcano is the original author). 

It applies on iproute2-2.6.25.

Benjamin


This patch adds support for the IFLA_NET_NS_PID type used to move 
network devices between network namespaces.

The syntax is: 
ip link DEVICE netns PID

PID is the pid of a process in the target network namespace.
