Cannot Traffic Shape on external PPPoE interface

[development@…]

Cannot create Traffic Shaping rules on an external interface with PPPoE enabled on it. I noticed this when I first installed 2.2 and it generated information in /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log but now it gives me a nice "You have hit a bug..." message on the web interface and no log output, did you already know about this problem?

In my case I activated traffic shaping module after a while. I activated it with no rules defined. After defining one rule for the external PPPoE (eth1) and one for internal interface (eth0) and saving the changes the web interface gave me the note of an error in one module and that I should take a look into the logs in /var/log/zentyal. Before I did this I restarted zentyal network module with no error. After this I restarted zentyal network module and this threw the following errors on the console:

 * Restarting Zentyal module: trafficshaping                             [ OK ] 
tbone@zentyal:/var/log/zentyal$

This might help in analyzing the problem. BTW, it doesn't matter if the rules are activated or not.

Addition: If I remove all rules for the external interface (the rules for internal are kept) no error occurs in web interface after restarting traffic shaping. I guess the shaping rules have to be applied to the ppp interface instead of the external eth interface in case of PPPoE.

Hello,

Unfortunately we cannot put the work right now to fix the traffic shaping for PPP so we will disable and not support it. Maybe in the future we can support it but not right now.

It is disable in changeset [a274279]
