I think that it may still be the case that we want to compile batctl on
an host without libnl.

In the end batman-adv can run on Ethernet and we may have an embedded
system with no wifi which has no libnl at all.

I was wondering....what if we check if libnl is installed or not and in
case it is missing we disable the address translation and vlan operations=
?
In this way we can add the dependency to libnl and avoid code
duplication but at the same time we keep libnl-free users happy.

I think batctl can be useful for many things, also if libnl is not
installed.

What do you think?

Cheers,
