Ideally I’d like to be able to recompile sch_cake.ko after the system is running and not have to rebuild an OpenWRT image every time I make a change, in case I want to experiment with the code, so I hope that’s possible. I worked with C back in the day, but with rather different tooling so at the moment I feel like my hands are tied behind my back- hoping that changes. :)

May I direct your attention to https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/ldir.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/cakepatches

A selection of patches including my hack workaround…which you can choose to include/exclude from your test builds… as well as Toke’s ‘extra info’ patch to see what netlink stats blocks are being returned.


Cheers,
