Folks,
It has come to my attention that there is a serious problem with upload QoS when used with a PPPoE connection.

To outline the problem your upload QoS functionality will not work after boot if your PPPoE connection does not come up fast. Also at some future time after boot if your PPPoE connection goes down and then recovers your upload QoS functionality will be lost. The upload link works OK its just that none of your upload rules are being obeyed.

To restore your upload QoS functionality you must do a save settings on one of the QoS screens. Then things should work until either you reboot or your PPPoE connection goes down.

This problem does not affect download QoS which appears to work properly in all circumstances.

I am pondering the best way to automatically restore upload QoS when the PPPoE connection is brought up. Look for something in a future release.

A fix to this issue is uploaded to the SVN so expect it to be resolved in the release after 1.2.2

Any chance to hotfix this by downloading the changed files from svn - or did too much change ?

One changed file
/etc/init.d/qos_gargoyle

One new file
/etc/hotplug.d/iface/10-qos_gargoyle

You could pull these from the SVN and copy them into any v1.2 or higher gargoyle router and it should fix this issue.

Let me know if you see any problems.

Hm, I copied from svn/trunk the files:

qos_gargoyle.init -> /etc/init.d/qos_gargoyle
qos_gargoyle.hotplug -> /etc/hotplug.d/iface/10-qos_gargoyle (with a chmod +x on hte file for good measure)

and rebooted.

Now, when I check the webinterface and go to Status/QOS Distribution - I only see data for the qos upload, but not for the qos download. Both look to be enabled in the webinterface. It also seems like, the download qos might not be working, at least my download isn't getting throttled as it should.

Output of /etc/init.d/qos_gargoyle show:
