I have tried to do bridged traffic control with 2.6. It just doesn't 
seem to work. u32 matches won't work, marking packets with 
iptables/ebtables then trying to catch them with tc's fw match doesn't 
work. Filters just won't catch anything in 2.6, and all traffic just 
leaves through the default class. There are reports of people getting 
this working, but no real details have emerged.

With 2.4, it works without problems. I have a few machines running 
bridging firewalls with traffic control using 2.4. Works without issues.

Any developers want to shed some light on why 2.6 doesn't seem to go? 
(Config options?)
