>Description:
If we have fast connection and want to use longer queue for faster pipes we may want to set up longer queue. But we do not able to set the queue length more then 100 packets
# /sbin/ipfw pipe  107 config mask dst-ip 0xffffffff bw 10Mbit/s queue 600 gred 0.002/100/300/0.1
ipfw: 2 <= queue size <= 100

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to set queue length > 100 packets
# /sbin/ipfw pipe  107 config mask dst-ip 0xffffffff bw 10Mbit/s queue 600 gred 0.002/100/300/0.1
ipfw: 2 <= queue size <= 100

>Fix:
Change sbin/ipfw/ipfw2.c and sys/netinet/ip_dummynet.c and increase check value to bigger value
as far as this value is 
int qsize, then we can use values up to 65000 what give us queue about 100 MB (for 1500 mtu)
