Hi Stephen,
I resend you this patch once more. This time I updated the documentation
too (may be that was the reason why you didn't take it before?).
Please tell me if there are other things missing in this patch
It applies on iproute2 git tree.
Regards,
Benjamin
Description:
------------
This patch adds support for the IFLA_NET_NS_PID type. It is used to
move network devices between network namespaces.
The syntax is:
ip link set DEVICE netns PID
PID is the pid of a process in the target network namespace.
(Daniel Lezcano is the original author).

Write something about the tweak to enable promoting secondary addresses
instead of deleting them together with the primary address as discussed
in this thread on the netdev mailing list:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg52294.html
The claim that this is supported since 2.6.15 is based on looking at
changes to net/ipv4/devinet.c in the linux-2.6 git tree:

Version 2.6.15 was released 2006-01-03 and seems to include the code from
both the above commits.
The ip util would happily change these flags, it's just not recommended.
Reflect that in the doc.
The behaviour of ifconfig is exactly the same as of ip, delete the note about
it.
