[LARTC] tc on a PDA

[Marius Corici]

hello,

i have a 5500 iPaq with familiar 0.8.2 on it and i don't know how to
install a traffic shaper tool on it.
I installed iproute2 package i found on familiar site and for that i
have the tc and ip commands, but when trying to add a qdisc, as a 
dummy example, i get the next answer:
 
> tc qdisc add dev wlan0 root cbq bandwidth 100Mbit avpkt 100
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

do i have to install some other packages, recompile the kernel or
something else?

thans in advance,

Marius Corici

This suggests no cbq, so you probably need to recompile the kernel.  If
you had to install iproute2 then almost certainly the kernel was not
built for QoS.

Curiosity:  What makes you think shaping is needed on a PDA?

I don't know if QoS is in the kernel that you are running, it is  
probably not.

Why do you want to shape a pda?

I just want to tell that i was able to recompile the pda's kernel
succesfully for traffic shaping. Another problem appeared, but i
solved it: the cbq command i sent before needs a handle, i don't know
why ...
So in conclusion on a 5550 hp iPAQ with Familiar 0.8.2 distribution
and 2.4.19 ARM patched kernel the shaping works, with the exception of
the efficient and simply to configure HTB qdisc.

AWESOME!  Why no HTB?
