ALTQ support in vr(4)?

[Olof Samuelsson]

Sorry for wasting everyones bandwidth and time .. thanks to Dominic
Marks I have re-read my own question and actually *read* the altq(9)
manpage in addition to the altq(4) manpage... I make the conclusion
that if the IFQ_* macros are used in the driver source, the driver is
ALTQified.

I also draw the conclusion that vr(4) supports ALTQ and will test this
later this weekend.  I guess that the release notes are a little wrong
too.

BR,
Olof

Olof>  Which list is correct?  What should I look for in the driver

Olof>  Btw, em(4) is mentioned twice in the release notes ... hme(4)?
