aru Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 In case you have set up a LAN in your home, with GNU/Linux as router and window$/Linux clients, and you get sick watching your bandwidth shrinking and shrinking to null when your brother is using Kazaa upstairs, here is your solution: HOWTO: Quality of Surfing: An Intermediate Level HowTo from the Linux Journal. With a mandrake kernel you won't need to do anything special besides adjusting the values of the script to your own connection numbers. I'm just testing it with good results.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Wow. Thanks aru! I had this very question and the only answers ever given to me were "I think I remember using QoS to do this' (thanks, qnr - :P ). Bummer that I have to recompile my kernel, though, because I don't have anything about QoS compiled in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Bummer that I have to recompile my kernel, though, because I don't have anything about QoS compiled in.Did you compile it out? As aru pointed out, it's already in a mdk kernel (just checked ML9.1's 2.4.21-0.13mdk). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Because of my MoBo, I cannot use MDKs 2.4.* kernel with their .config file, so I compiled my own. I have yet to figure out what options in the .config file cause the stock 2.4.* kernel to not boot with my MoBo, so I always compile from scratch. Edit: And I'm still using 8.1 because I'm on dialup and waiting for 9.1 to be released in stores (I never do a *.0 release....too buggy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Well, just for info, I was using 8.1 when I was using QoS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
