Hello,

why so many quetions? Because it is not always straight forward. And the documentation is not always 100% true.
THis is obviously due to the huge amount of different hardware.

I had a  hard time to get my asus working.
And this is because the wiki says here http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Configuration
that eth0 is the wan interface and eth1 is the lan interface, which is wrong for me.

For me it is:
eth0: LAN
eth1: WAN

eth2: seems to be the wifi port, but I havent managed to bring it up,yet.

root@OpenWrt:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

eth1      no wireless extensions.

eth2      IEEE 802.11-DS  ESSID:""
          Mode:Master  Frequency:2.412 GHz  Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00
          Tx-Power:31 dBm
          RTS thr=2347 B   Fragment thr=2346 B
          Encryption key:off

br0       no wireless extensions.

ppp0      no wireless extensions.

Kind regards
Cornelius

So we can assume that you've helped by updating the wiki with the new information?

another reason for som manny questions on teh same thing is that there is not answer offerd.

i have tried to find the answers on how to setup wondershaper and have seen lots of examples of code, but not where to put that code, what that code is and how it works (if you understand it then you know it, otherwise you are just copy-pasting and will return with more questions)

someone requested a how-to a while back and got some code, not a how-to.

if we got more answers we would probably have less questions

The discussion might have continued from here.
