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.

Dear W.P.,

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

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.
