        I assume that persists across a reboot? That second error could be a known issue that isn't persistent.

          The "cxl0: driver does not support altq" error starts immediately upon enabling the shaper on the interface and persists through reboots.

          The "pfctl_rules" error does not start until the filter is reloaded after enabling the shaper. It also persists through reboots, and does not stop until both the shaper is disabled and the system is rebooted.

          Edited to correct when pfctl_rules error starts.

                It's more a matter of getting some hardware setup to test against. I think I have something now.

                  Ok, I replicated that:

                  There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: cxl0: driver does not support altq - The line in question reads [0]: @ 2022-11-03 18:47:01
                  

                  Investigating...

                    @stephenw10 Hi there, I just wanted to check in and see if you had any updates, or anything you wanted me to try out on my setup that could help narrow things down? I haven't really gotten to delve much further into the issue myself, so unfortunately I don't have any new discoveries just yet.

                      Yeah, it appears the driver itself does not support altq and has not for some years.
                      There is a lot on conflicting info in threads and redmine tickets here to suggest that it has done. However the driver code shows is was removed and could not have worked.

                      We are looking at options but adding it will be non-trivial.

                        @stephenw10 Okay, thank you for that info and for looking into this for me! Could you point me in the right direction on where I should check in occasionally to keep an eye on the status of this?

                          I created a ticket for it. We can add updates there: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13644
