In the wired ethernet world there is a lot of value in moving just
a vlan interface or just one mac address with mac vlan into a network
namespace.  Allowing full speed access to the hardware that can do
just about anything while functionally restricting what user space
can do with the hardware.
Right, except that wireless really is different in that for one you
can't really usefully have multiple virtual interfaces unless you're
making an AP
Well it may be possible later in STA too, but that is just me looking at
a crystal ball.
(and I think it's unlikely you'd want that in an AP, and
even if I'm not willing to support it, 
You mean AP VLANs? I thought you added that code already. I don't
follow.
