Gargoyle Forum

Hi there.

I've just recently installed Gargoyle on-top of a fresh OpenWRT Kamikaze installation. Using the standard configuration everything seems to be working just perfect.

But my setup is kind of special. I use 802.1q and different VLANS and multiple wireless networks. So instead of having the default lan/wan/br-lan setup, I have three bridges, each corresponding to their own WLAN and LAN side.

What I want is basically the same flexibility and functionality as I get when operating on just one network, with my setup. Is this possible? What I experienced when trying to set up this "under the hood", was that Gargoyle didn't even appear when opening the web page for the router. So I'm gathering that this isn't supported yet.

An example use case for this is a internet connection that's shared between a newspaper and some residents in the same building. Generally the newspaper side of the network should be prioritized when it comes to bandwidth usage, but during work hours and close to deadline I want this to be very conservative. Gargoyle looks like it's able to cope with this, but for now only when one network is used.

Sorry, Gargoyle doesn't support this at this time.

It's possible that I may eventually implement handling of different subnets for wired/wirless/multiple APs, but I have no plans to implement VLANs (e.g. multiple subnets for different wired ethernet ports other than just the LAN/WAN distinction), since only some switches support VLANS and I don't want to cause problems in devices that do not.

Hehe, do I smell another fork?

But Gargoyle is really just a web front-end for 'tc', right? Wouldn't it be possible to modify this just a bit to accomodate the different VLANs problem and then just release it as a package?

I would find it highly amusing if someone chose to fork Gargoyle, given that no one has yet volunteered to help me develop it. If someone wanted this feature so much that they would implement it themselves... that would be different. I'm always open to that. I just have other, higher priorities right now.
