Hi,

I added the following to our image recipe:
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " nftables"

When running that image, nftables seems to be included, but we get the
following error:
~# nft
../../nftables-0.7/src/netlink.c:59: Unable to initialize Netlink socket:
Protocol not supported

Furthermore, it's not showing in lsmod, and also not in modprobe
--showconfigs.

This is the active kernel config:

What am I missing? Should I enable it some other way instead of using
IMAGE_INSTALL_append? Do I need to enable more?

Thanks,
Kind regards,
