Hello,
I am sorry to hear that it is not merged yet.I hoped to try to start a
project with network namespaces.

Regards,
Mark

Sysfs tagged directories are not supported, but with 2.6.29 you
can use network namespaces. There are some limits - you can't
move a physical network device out of the initial network
namespace, and (veth) devices which are not in the initial
network namespace just don't show up in /sys/class/net (since
we can't tag them).

But you can use network namespaces.
