Hey Petr,

is this an idea in progress or is OpenWRT already heading towards that goal?

So what is the correct approach? Please see my questions below.

1) Is it okay to modify libnl to build and distribute the libnl-cli package so that I can base the libteam package on it?

2) How should I handle the netifd team module dependency on libteam to get it accepted to netifd code base?

Cheers,
