By pure luck, I ended up chatting with one of the NetworkManager chaps, who invited a merge request with the proper parameters for CAKE.
He wrote
Currently NM doesn't support configuring CAKE parameters.
IOW, if you
set "root cake bandwidth 100Mbit", you will see in the tc
output that
cake was set but with default parameters.
Yes, I think it will be useful to have CAKE support in
NM, but I can't
say when it will be implemented. Of course, patches are
always
welcome; if anybody is interested in contributing it,
please have a
look at the work that was done to support SFQ:

Sounds like a good job for next weekend, can I get some reviewers for the week after?

I can absolutely propose a patch/MR based on that example, but I'm
fallible (;-))
Do you prefer an MR in github or a git-format-patch via email?
