      I am running ver 2.3.2 on an old PC with a USB Network dongle for my LAN interface on my home network.  1 WAN interface via DHCP with IPv4 and IPv6, and 1 LAN static IP.

      When running the Traffic Shaping wizards, I get the "There are less interfaces than number of connections!" and it will not run.

      When looking at the "By Interface" page in the traffic shaper I only see the WAN interface.  Would this be caused by the LAN being the USB dongle?

      Any assistance would be appreciated in getting the traffic shaper working.

        Im having the same issue with a usb connected LTE Modem as a WWAN interface on all my netgate appliances. Im thinking USB devices can not be used for traffic shaping  :'(

          Correct.  If they're not supported by ALTQ then you can't use them with shaping.

            I was able to get this working by changing my hardware over to my virtual server.  It is confirmed that it was the USB Dongle causing the issue.
