Created attachment 5744

patch to make nftables cli optional

nftables requires readline (and thus in turn ncurses) which adds considerably
to the size of the root filesystem (~500kB for MIPS).

Did a bit of work and we can now make it optional (by default it is not
enabled).

Is this patch reasonable, need me to do anything else to it for it to be
considered for buildroot.  I am also reaching out to the nftables team to see
about upstreaming this.
