Really?

I have to learn a THIRD way of doing firewalling?

First it was ipchains.

Then it was iptables.

Now apparently, that's not good enough, so I have to get my head around 
nftables.

On, but wait, this is OpenWrt, which has yet another layer added - fw4.

And all I wanted to do was upgrade the OS to get rid of a long-standing 
and very annoying race condition that would kill the WiFi at 
unpredictable moments.

Yes, I know I'm using this router in a rather different way from the 
usual, but sometimes people do things like that.

Sylvia.
