udevfw

Forwards udev events into a given network namespace. You must provide the path to a file suitable for use with setns(2), e.g.

ip netns add my-namespace
udevfw /run/netns/my-namespace

udevfw must be run as root, or with CAP_NET_ADMIN rights.

Bugs

This program is somewhat hacky because systemd's libudev library does not export the necessary function to send udev messages. As a result, it relies upon the specific implementation details of the udev message format.
