hostapd container is failing to use iptables #4

Are the iptables commands required for this process? Use nftables instead of (legacy) iptables when building the container.

it's probably not necessary to save the iptables entry in the container as it will be restored when the container comes up again based on the script. In all likelihood, it is not necessary to setup ip_forward or masquerading. Further investigation is necessary to confirm. Currently this module works as expected.
