[LARTC] Virtual interfaces shaping

[LARTC] Virtual interfaces shaping

[Mpourtounis Dimitris]

I am using hostap driver as an Access Point and want to shape on this
wireless interface.
The thing with hostap driver (and others i think) is that it creates new
virtual interfaces (wlanxxx) for every node that associates with it.

Lets say i want to limit all outgoing traffic on wlan0 at 512 Mbits.
The problem is that i cannot apply an htb configuration on wlan0,
beacause some traffic is handled by wlan0xxx. 
Is there any way i can "gather" traffic from all wlans interfaces, and
shape overall traffic to a limit???

You can with IMQ. 
But IMQ is not included in the vanila kernel, you'll need to patch it.
I'd suggest http://kem.p.lodz.pl/~peter/qnet/
