As I reported early (but I can't find my old bug report here in Bugzilla) cbq module support is still missing in kernel. As we have shapecfg package in distribution we should have cbq (and maybe other "QoS and/or fair queueing modules") modules in kernel package to allow cbq script from shapecfg package to work properly. The only one problem is that you should compile the kernel with the proper compiler because some of them break these modules.
Is there any reason to not include QoS to RPM??? This is extremly uncomfortable.
Alan, should the QoS kernel options and the advanced router options be enabled in the 2.2 kernels? The 2.4 kernels?
Alan bounced this to you Dave....
I see no reason why we should not enable the packet scheduler modules, we ship all the tools (tc, shapecfg, etc.) and I'm confident in Alexey's work. This goes for both 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels. After some thinking, I believe the advanced router stuff should be enabled in both kernels as well. All of this stuff is well maintained and rather stable.
As there is shapecfg package in standard distribution, kernel should support it. Please, enable QoS in the kernel.
Done in current source tree.
Mucking around with 2.4.2-0.1.16, it seems QoS options have all been disabled. Was there some reason for this? I think it'd be great to see QOS stuff in the kernel, built as modules. Reopening..
enabled the modules again
