Hi Andre,
maybe interessting for you: Marcel Sebek recently started a thread on netdev about this topic. He has ported the IMQ device to 2.6 and asked if this might be accepted. Davem contacted Patrick McHardy, the original author, who said that the IMQ device was buggy. This thread still continues, take a look at netdev ml archives for more information.
There is also discussion on the LARTC list at the moment - someone called roy has rewritten IMQ but still sees crashes. He thinks they are related to locally generated traffic, so IMQ for ingress should be OK.
Personally I have used IMQ for locally generated traffic (> a gig/day up with bittorrent running on a P200 gateway) without problems, but I only have 256kbit/s up and shutdown everything at night.
Andy.

Hi guys, Andy F. pointed out that Alexander Clouter and other guys ported IMQ to 2.6. The URL to their port is:
http://www.digriz.org.uk/jdg-qos-script/#qos-2.6
I had no time or resources to test it so far...
I've got no answer from the last IMQ maintainer so I'll start a list for us to discuss what we'll gonna do about it. I'll let you know later today.
I'm sorry if this thread is disturbing somebody in this list. I'll just post 1 or 2 e-mails about it and we'll be out...
Meanwhile, anybody interrested in joining us to work with IMQ please contact me privately.
tks...
Andre
