FireQOS for Debian GNU/Linu: IMPORTANT NOTE
===========================================

********************************************************************
** Contrary to the current upstream approach, FireQOS has its own **
** configuration folder /etc/fireqos which contains the default   **
** FireQOS configuration file, aka, /etc/fireqos/fireqos.conf.    **
********************************************************************

This differences has been brought into the documentation distributed
within the concerned Debian packages.


FireQOS for Debian GNU/Linux
-----------------------------

FireQOS has to be enabled in /etc/default/fireqos to
get started; to enable it set START_FIREQOS to anything
else than NO/no.

Variables set into /etc/default/fireqos are exported into
by the init script /etc/init.d/fireqos, such that they are
carried out when fireqos is launched from it while, otherwise,
they are generally ignored.

Kernel options for FireQOS
--------------------------

FireQOS utilizes the kernel magic, especially the special devices called IFB
(Intermediate Functional Block): the kernel has to have support for IFB devices
(either build-in or as module).

First NET_CLS_ACT must be enabled:
	Networking support -> Networking Options -> QoS and/or fair queueing -> Actions
then the option IFB:
	Device Drivers -> Network Device Support -> Intermediate Functional Block support
