Easy Question From Newbie

[Ivan Levchenko]

You need to either load the pf kernel module, which can be done by adding
pf_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf (you may also load the module
without rebooting like this:
kldload pf) If you use the module, then altq will not work for you.

Or you may build a new kernel with the following options:
device pf
device pflog
device pfsync

and for altq:
options         ALTQ
options         ALTQ_CBQ        # Class Bases Queuing (CBQ)
options         ALTQ_RED        # Random Early Detection (RED)
options         ALTQ_RIO        # RED In/Out
options         ALTQ_HFSC       # Hierarchical Packet Scheduler (HFSC)
options         ALTQ_PRIQ       # Priority Queuing (PRIQ)
options         ALTQ_NOPCC      # Required for SMP build

You should remove the things that you don't need.

For more info (probably should have started with this) go to

happy packet filtering!
