Not sure what else is happening with netns, but I use the following to turn on namespace support:

config CORE_KERNEL_OPTIONS
    bool "Enable kernel support for containers"
    default y
    select PACKAGE_lxc
    select LXC_KERNEL_OPTIONS
    select PACKAGE_veth
    select PACKAGE_kmod-veth
    help
      Select the LXC_KERNEL_OPTIONS config to enable namespaces support in
      the Linux kernel.

This goes into a custom feed config, turns on LXC options including network namespaces. 
I’m using this in conjunction with CORE [1] utilities.

cheers,
-Jeff
