After installing a new m0n0wall kernel based on the patches for
version 1.2 (http://m0n0.ch/wall/downloads/kernel-patches-530.tgz)
I've noticed that the traffic shaper stopped working interfering with
the forwarding of packets.  Basically traffic to/from the WAN is
blocked.  Disabling the traffic shaper the traffic keeps flowing as
usual.

The only patch that didn't apply cleanly is the one on
sys/contrib/ipfilter/netinet/mlfk_ipl.c which produced this reject:

The second part appears to be already applied, so I didn't bothered to
investigate any further.

By the way, the same goes for the kernel based on FreeBSD 5.4:
everything appears to work fine beside the traffic shaper.

Is there something I should have taken care of, that is not already
explained in http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/hack/?
