The 'Enabled' checkbox is disabled by default.

I would have no problem with it being enabled by default, but would like it retained.

I use a TP-Link device to bridge to the phone line. In the next year, a build of OpenWRT will appear which I can apply to this, with all the ceroWRT changes incorporated in it hopefully.

I envisage testing the operation of that device as a full gateway, and using the ceroWRT device as an access point in the testing period, with sqm partly or wholly disabled on it.

Restart it by hand via /etc/init.d/sqm restart

tc -s qdisc show dev ge00

Should show htb and fq codel.

Uh oh. PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard :-)

I see the problem… There’s this little checkbox in the “Basic Settings” of the GUI… It’s labeled “Enable” and hidden in plain sight above all the interesting stuff in that tab. If it isn’t checked, the router is just as bloated as every other home router.

However, if you *do* check it, everything works as desired. Whew!

A few thoughts which might keep this from ever happening again:

- Was it disabled by default? (I don’t remember unchecking it…)

- Is there even a reason to have the “Enable” checkbox? Would there ever be a circumstance where a person wouldn’t want SQM?

- Could the “Enable” checkbox be replaced by another “Not Enabled” entry in the “Interface name” dropdown?

Thanks!
