This works fine for outgoing shaping BUT for incoming shapping you 
cannot use this
If you want to limit bandwith of input AND output you MUST use imq.

I have built the following packages for pebble:
iproute2-2.6.11-050330
iptables-1.3.2
kismet-2005-06-R1
madwifi-bsd-20050702
openssh-4.0p1
openssl-0.9.7g
wavemon-0.0.4b
wireless-tiils-28.pre8
wpa_supplicant-0.4.3

I think it's imported that someone can upgrade some stuff if there are 
security patches new version
like hostapd, wpa_supplicant.
For that you cannot rely on the system openssl because it could be that 
you should upgrade ssl.
The problem is that some packges rely on ssl. If you stay in the same 
version i.e. 0.9.7
I think (and I  didn't have) there should no problems to upgrade ssl.
If you upgrade to 0.9.8 or what ever there maybe could be a problem.

Greetings

Beat
