Description Sebastian Werner 2004-02-02 16:33:05 UTC

in 2.6 pkt_sched.h changed.

so iproute2 compiles, BUT qdiscs like sfq fail initialising with
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument.

After replacing iproute2/include/linux/pkt_sched.h by the actual kernel pkt_sched.h iproute2 compiled and worked successfully.

So: Please add some kernel check in iproute2 ebuild to ensure it will still work in 2.6.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get kernel 2.6.x
2. Install iproute2 ebuild
3. Try to get "tc qdisc add dev eth0 root sfq perturb 10" working

Actual Results:  
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

Expected Results:  
Create a working qdisc :)

iproute-20010824-r5 should address this
