Package: shaper
Version: 2.2.12-0.7.3-2.3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I lifted a simple config right out of the script comments, to cap all
bandwidth between the outside world and a single IP:

# cat /etc/shaper/cbq-20.120-internet
DEVICE=eth0,2Mbit,200Kbit
RATE=500Kbit
WEIGHT=50Kbit
PRIO=5
RULE=192.168.8.120,

# cat /etc/shaper/cbq-20.internet-120
DEVICE=wlan0,2Mbit,200Kbit
RATE=500Kbit
WEIGHT=50Kbit
PRIO=5
RULE=192.168.8.120

But no matter how big I make the RATE/WEIGHT numbers (as you can see, my
last try was RATE=500Kbit) the network is almost unusable at the
192.168.8.120 machine. Very, very slow.

There is also quite an uninspiring bug report on the upstream web site:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1281248&group_id=42529&atid=433418

Which leads me to wonder, is the example I cloned wrong in some
serious way, or is the package non-functional?
