The driver as is supports namespaces only for some kernel versions. It can be checked with:

iw phy phy0 info

Supported commands:
   * new_interface
   * set_interface
   * new_key
   * start_ap
   * new_station
   * set_bss
   * join_ibss
   * set_pmksa
   * del_pmksa
   * flush_pmksa
   * remain_on_channel
   * frame
   * set_channel
   * connect
   * disconnect

If * set_wiphy_netns is missing namespaces are not supported. Something like https://github.com/MarcFontaine/rtl8188eus/commit/d49a140420d81f9e14a47adab6272384c0040d47 seems to work to enable namespaces for newer kernels.
