Subject: Re: some tc commands fail on 2.6.29-rc6-git5, works on 2.6.28.7

Hello

Just to confirm that i also have all traffic control/shaping (QoS,
connection limits, scheduling, etc) enabled on the config i use.

Its not just the specific version of tc i posted, i tried one from
last year (october, but i didnt note the exact build) with the same
result.

Cheers,
