.. the ALTQ compatibility stuff for buf_ring and drbr_* is just plain ew. The question is, who is going to step up and make that work? I'm certainly not going to; when I teach net80211 and ath(4) about if_transmit, I'm going to do it in a way that breaks ALTQ. And it'll stay broken until I've ironed out all of the 802.11 and driver related kinks that exist, and then it'll only come back up once we've all come up with a much more sensible way to stuff this kind of queue management into our network drivers. We -know- we need a much more generic implementation of packet queue management. Someone just needs to come up with one. :-) Adrian
