ALTQ compatible hardware?

[gluesniffined]

I haveh a question regarding the NIC drivers and NIC types for using traffic shaping.  I have tried combinations of the following cards and I always get an error that my LAN or WAN does not support ALTQ.

3Com 905c-TX 10/100 Mb - xl
3Com 900B 10 Mb - xl
Intel based compaq card 10/100Mb - fxp
C-Net Pro 200 - 10/100Mb - dc

As far as I have read, ALTQ should be supported in all of the above drivers.  Is there something I am missing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The following interface types are ALTQ compatible:

"an", "ath", "awi", "bfe", "bge", "dc", "de", "ed",
"em", "fxp", "hme", "lnc", "ndis", "rl", "sf", "sis", "sk",
"tun", "vr", "wi", "xl", "vlan", "ste"

Thanks for taking the time to reply, but I am still kinda' stuck here.

Based on your answer above am I to assume that either:

a) It is a cosmetic error; ALTQ is really functioning (since I am using cards and drivers that are supposedly supported) but the error in the GUI is incorrect and a bug?

b) ALTQ is not currently functioning and is a bug that will be corrected in the future or possibly…...

c) My particular cards are not 100% compatible with the ALTQ functions in the modified xl, dc and fxp drivers?

I'm currently using the .90a upgrade that was released and I understand that it's in an alpha state.  I'm mainly trying to find out if I should look at picking up some different NIC's even though mine are supposedly supported or I just have to wait for the development cycle to get a bit more in the beta/rc phase.

Thanks again

Please add some info about what errors you get, and how you encountered the problem, ALTQ shoud work fine.

What version of pfSense and what kind of WAN do you have? If you have PPPoE your WAN-connection is not the NIC itself but the PPPoE-connection. There have been older versions of pfsense that had PPPoE-drivers without ALTQ-support. If you are not running the latest version please upgrade and retry.

Thanks guys, I was running .90a as an upgrade from a previous version and I just now installed .92, fresh.  ALTQ appears to not be giving me errors now.

Thanks again, I thought I was losing my mind as it worked in the past just fine.

Will there ever be support for AXE?

@cybrsrce:

ALTQ-capability of the driver itself is an driver issue. You would have to ask the drivermaintainer for that.
