Have been running the pf port for some time with good results.  Would like
to implement altq.

Upgraded from 5.2.1 to Current(tag=.)

What do I need to do to make it happen?

Current kernel config only contains this -

options         PFIL_HOOKS              # pfil(9) framework
options         RANDOM_IP_ID

It is loaded as a module.

Do I need to add these to the kernel config for altq -

http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier

An ALTQ kernel must include the following additional options:
 options	ALTQ
 options	ALTQ_CBQ	# Class Bases Queueing
 options	ALTQ_RED	# Random Early Drop
 options	ALTQ_RIO	# RED In/Out
 options	ALTQ_HFSC	# Hierarchical Packet Scheduler
 options	ALTQ_CDNR	# Traffic conditioner
 options	ALTQ_PRIQ	# Prioirity Queueing
 options	ALTQ_NOPCC	# Required for SMP build

Or can altq be loaded as a module also ?

This same page also has a number of patches for different NIC's.  Do they
need to be patched if cvsup is Current ?

Interface cards are xl and rl

How do I install patches ?

Thanks
