	Ah, I see the latest changes have not yet made it into the openwrt repository (due to lack of testing). As I do not have permissions/authority to push changes into the openwrt repository, there is nothing I can do to expedite the process. You could replace /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/sqm.lua on your router with the following (attached file)

that should do the trick and get you to the most recent version that needs testers badly. The minimal change required is to add c:value(?cake?) to the following section of sqm.lua:

c = s:taboption("tab_qdisc", ListValue, "qdisc", translate("Queueing discipline"))
c:value("fq_codel", "fq_codel ("..translate("default")..")")
c:value("efq_codel")
c:value("nfq_codel")
c:value("sfq")
c:value("codel")
c:value("ns2_codel")
c:value("pie")
c:value("sfq?)
c:value(?cake")
c.default = "fq_codel"
c.rmempty = false

@Dave, which of these do we want to keep carrying and which can we safely retire? Especially in the openwrt context most of the experimental ones are not available anyways. (If anybody has a way to make tc or the kernel enumerate the qdiscs that are either compiled in or available as modules that would be much appreciated.)

Best Regards
	Sebastian
