>Description:
Dummynet queue option is limited in 100 slots, and it is few for my traffic shapping. I modifyed the kernel and ipfw program to 1000.


>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:

I suggest an option in kernel config file, like this:

options DUMMYNET_QUEUE_SLOTS 100

Above is the default. In my system it would be:

options DUMMYNET_QUEUE_SLOTS 1000

But, to do this, the ipfw program can't test the limit anymore. It has to put the value asked by the user, and test if it was accepted.
