I have some remarks on the wshaper.
- The bandwidth parameter should reflect your real link bandwidth parameter.
So it's 100mbit if the NIC is connected with 100Mbit to the
router/switch/modem. Its _NOT_ the modem bandwidth.
- The isolated parameter is not working and it can even disturb a cbq setup.
So you better remove it from all cbq classes.
- I miss the weight paramter. It's better to provide one if you add a class.
Take weitht = rate / 10.
