Can you give us more information on the 'firewall', is it running a standard distro (ubuntu, fedora, suse, ..) or one that's dedicated for the job (pfsense, ipcop, moonwall,..)
If you intend to just limit the user to a specific bandwidth on a standard distro, install squid and use its delay pools feature. Using a distro built for firewall duty will make your administration easier as everything is already laid out for you. I highly recommend pfsense in this regard.
