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.
