so that 'import mininet' will work.
- A functional netns binary is required to run mininet, but currently you
have to compile it and install it yourself from the included .c file:
to make it: make netns (or cc -o netns netns.c)
to test it: ./netns /sbin/ifconfig -a
to 'install' a link to it, you could do something like:
sudo ln -s /home/openflow/mininet/netns /usr/local/bin/netns
