[LARTC] Hierarchy Token Bucket for 2.4.18 (RH 8.0) (or new kernel?)

[LARTC] Hierarchy Token Bucket for 2.4.18 (RH 8.0) (or new kernel?)

After Stef's advice to use the Hierarchy Token Bucket for my QoS needs,
I've run across the problem of recompiling the kernel. I've always tried
to stay away from this (although have done it) - but I'd appreciate some
hand holding.


The kernel is RedHat 8.0 2.4.18-18, and maybe I'm escaping myself, I've
found
	/lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/kernel/net/sched/sch_htb.o

The source for this shows a version tag of:
 * $Id: sch_htb.c,v 1.13 2002/05/25 09:04:50 devik Exp $


If this really needs recompiling, then where is the best place to find
the new kernel source (I'd prefer to be able to get it from RedHat- I'm
guessing I can't just use 2.4.18 config file), and which version should
I find.

What other tools, if any, will need recompiling after the new kernel is
in place?

Thanks for bearing with me this far....

I think this is the latest htb version (htb 3.6).  So you don't need to patch 
and compile a new kernel if you want htb support.
