I've installed and am happily running Bering 1.0r3 with a set of basic rules
but wanted to play with traffic shaping.

I've loaded the tc.lrp and read that HTB is configured. However, when I try
to issue even basic tc commands I get the following message: "RTNETLINK
answers: Invalid argument". This seems to occur regardless of the tc
action - filter, qdisc, etc - and regardless of the class or queue being
used.

The machine has Red Hat 7.1 installed on its hard disk from a prior use, and
the same commands work well, so I know its not directly hardware related.
The network interfaces are performing well for my simple Baring
installation, so I'm quietly confident that its not my initial configuration
settings - DHCPd is working and traffic is entering both interfaces and able
to exit the other side.

The PC is an HP Vectra P-II with 512 Mbyte RAM, and is booting from the
floppy disk. It has two 3Com 509 PCI cards. The eth0 is connected to a very
dumb hub and eth1 is connected to my desktop via a crossover cable. At the
moment, I have the system unconnected from the Internet so no PPPoE or PPP
complexities - just plain IP/Ethernet traffic. To double check the disk, I
recreated a brand-new disk from the download image and got exactly the same
errors.

Does Baring require traffic shaping to be done via Shorewall? I've now
created a tcstart script for Shorewall which mirrors the tc shell script and
am still getting the same errors.

Any help is really appreciated.

Adrian
