	Ah, I see, you are still using tc’s stab mechanism for account of per packet overhead and link layer adjustments instead of cake’s (you need to check the advanced options check box in the link layer adjustments tab, and then select “cake” as the lnk layer adjustment mechanism).

	We can ignore this as it is cosmetic.

	Again, this is tc’s stab mechanism and not cake’s. But it should not break I guess...

	This is weird, under cerowrt this works; but that call to sqm_logger is not useful anyways, it is either repetitive or empty, so I will just delete it
