Hi there.  Again, upgrading 2.4.2 to 3.0.2 and revisiting some of the
issues that I ran into back when I first configured 2.4.2.

I'd like to use the shorewall traffic shaping capabilities, and have
some nice recipes that are working fine in 2.4.2.

>From my 2.4.2 configuration, I gather that to use these capabilities I
need to load qos-htb and tc packages, and also need to load all the
sched modules (from my 2.4.2 config /etc/modules)

### QoS
! dir /lib/modules/2.4.32/kernel/net/sched
cls_fw
cls_route
cls_rsvp
cls_rsvp6
cls_tcindex
cls_u32
sch_cbq
sch_csz
sch_dsmark
sch_gred
sch_hfsc
sch_htb
sch_ingress
sch_netem
sch_prio
sch_red
sch_sfq
sch_tbf
sch_teql

I also seem to need to load

ipt_connmark
ipt_CONNMARK

as I do some per connection marking and restoring to use ipp2p effectively.

Obviously all of these modules need to be declared in /etc/modules and
(apparently) copied to /lib/modules and then backed up to floppy
moddb.lrp

I guess my question is if this appears to be sufficient to be able to
use the three traffic shaping configuration files in shorewall, or if
I'm missing something.  Is there any LEAF specific documentation
anywhere on setting up traffic shaping?

In particular, the shorewall documentation is excellent in spelling
out exactly which kernel modules need to be configured when building
2.4 and 2.6, but there is no corresponding LEAF documentation which
states which modules are required to have all of the traffic shaping
functionality required so that shorewall will work properly.

>From my end here, and again perhaps this is more of a 3.1.0 thing, the
2.4.2 method for enabling traffic shaping strikes me as cumbersome.
It would be nice if loading the tc package would automatically load
the appropriate modules.  Same with qos-htb.  Having to configure the
modules and load them manually, from floppy moddb.lrp, strikes me as
inefficient.
