[Buildroot] simple(?) question about OpenWRT

[Buildroot] simple(?) question about OpenWRT

[W.P.]

Hi there,
I am posting here since OpenWRT build system looks buildroot based.

I'd like to know, how to DISABLE (using menus or something similar) ALL 
the *_tables related stuff.
Cause if I disable (now) it, it builds *_tables modules anyway.
And in my application (firmware for MR3220, 4M flash) it is a problem (I 
need BlueZ + Bash there :( ).

This device is NOT intended to work as router, only as AP + WDS. 
(+AnyRemote host + internet radio).

For now I used (discouraged, I know) "hand crafting" .config file,
but this leads to "your config is out of sync" warning...

W.P.

OpenWRT forked from Buildroot many, many years ago, and has now very
significantly diverged. This means that people knowing Buildroot
generally don't know much about OpenWRT, unless they learned it
separately.

Therefore, any support request related to OpenWRT is not really useful
on this list, and should instead be directed towards the OpenWRT
mailing list or IRC channel.

Best regards,

Thomas

If you don't really need a web-interface, then you can stick to the
current Buildroot.
