Hi, I''m trying to activate IFB device support in a 2.6.17 kernel from Debian Sid. I read that IFB device is the replacement for IMQ device, but I haven''t found any useful documentantion on how to activate this feature and the kernel documentation lacks of this information. I remember that IMQ could be activated in the ''Network devices'' menu in 2.6.8 kernels, but this option no longer exists. Where can I find some information about this? I found a ifb.cfile in the kernel source directory tree, but I''m not sure if an ifb module will be generated, as this option doesn''t seem to be available during the kernel configuration. Thanks. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc

Hi Andy and Vadim! Thanks for your help. I already read http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/IFB, but is not enough for me. To be honest, I realized the problem is I must read the man pages for tc, considering traffic shaping is not a piece of cake. Copy & paste examples from the web won''t help much doing traffic shaping. Sorry for the inconvenience. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
