[Voyage-linux] Bandwidth Arbitrator 9.62 over Voyage Linux on Alix2d2

[John Coltrane]

Hello,

what about http://lartc.org/wondershaper/ ? Works without kernel 
patching and compiling and no cost. BA on the other hand looks a bit 
dated and unmaintained. Kernel 2.6.5 is stoneold, and I'm sure there are 
a lot of bugs and security issues in it.

cheers
