>Description:
ipfw(8) doesn't set RED parameters for dummynet queue with RED queue
management because they set only if bandwidth limit exists, but bw limit
cannot be in queue config.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Configure dummynet queue with RED, for example:
	ipfw pipe 1 config bw 3000byte/s queue 5
	ipfw queue 2 config pipe 1 queue 50 red 0.008/10/40/0.9

2) Do some traffic via queue 2 to fill its queue
	ipfw add 1 queue 2 ip from any to any

3) See kernel panic caused by using uninitialized RED parameters

	
>Fix:

for ipfw.c rev 1.120
