I tried out the backfire beta on a buffalo whr g54s that I had previously
had been running ddwrt on. I had never gotten some traffic control stuff
working under ddwrt and was hoping I would have more success with a modern
kernel.

While looking through the packages I couldn't find ebtables. My plan was
to use ebtables to prevent obvious ip spoofing while still using a bridge.
If this package or an alternative isn't available, I think I can this
another way.

I was also interested in using ifb devices as part of managing inbound traffic.
On Fedora I can create ifb devices using modprobe ifb numifbs=xx . There
isn't a modprobe command available and I didn't see an obvious package that
would provide it. I also didn't see an ifb module to load. (If the ifb
stuff was built in, I would have expected some ifb devices to have been
created.) Is this feature not available? Is IMQ the only alternative?

P.S. I didn't do extensive testing, but the beta did seem to work. (I was
able to make a wireless connection, as well as some stuff using the luci
config page and via ssh.)
