Hi,
I am looking at using pf + AltQ + mpd instead of my original ipfw + dummyne=
t +=20
ppp setup but it seems that ng_iface doesn't have any AltQ hooks :(

I had a look at it to see if they could be retrofitted but alas it appears =
the=20
ng_iface driver is not very much like others (ie no queueing of packets?) s=
o=20
it would need more work..

I could use ppp(8) and do queueing on tun, but I would prefer to use mpd as=
=20
all of the packet movement is in the kernel which makes sense to me.

Does anyone have any patches for this? Or is it just a dumb idea and I shou=
ld=20
live with ppp(8)? :)

Thanks.
