[LARTC] tc on a PDA

[Marius Corici]

I just want to tell that i was able to recompile the pda's kernel
succesfully for traffic shaping. Another problem appeared, but i
solved it: the cbq command i sent before needs a handle, i don't know
why ...
So in conclusion on a 5550 hp iPAQ with Familiar 0.8.2 distribution
and 2.4.19 ARM patched kernel the shaping works, with the exception of
the efficient and simply to configure HTB qdisc.
