LARTC - Nov 2002 - Creating new qdisc?

Hi all,

I am trying to implement a new qdisc, but I''m having trouble.
Here''s what I''ve
done:

I''ve copied the TBF source into a new file, and modified it to
represent my new
qdisc. Then added it to the default qdiscs in the Makefile. I modified the 
header files include/net/pkt_sched.h and include/linux/pkt_sched.h to reflect 
my new qdisc. The kernel compiles and runs fine. (using UML)

Then I went ahead and modified tc to include support for the qdisc, once again 
using the exsisting code as a basis. It compiles and runs fine.

When I try to insert the EXISTING TBF, it works great. When I call tc with the 
same arguments, but for my new qdisc it returns (i gather 
infamous): "RT_NETLINK: Invalid argument". I didn''t change
the actual
parameters or code for the qdisc, so it is still identical to the default TBF. 
So the parameters I pass *should* be fine.

I''m wondering if I left something out that the kernel requires to
recognize the
new qdisc.

Thanks in advance.
Yell if you need more code/information.
