It's more worthwhile to classify on gif and queue on the real=20 interface.

Take a look at the patches on:=20 http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/ALTQ_driver/ and the altq(9) manpage to=20 learn how to modify a driver. It's more or less looking for if_snd and=20 modifying it according to the rules in altq(9).
