I am currently running version 44715.
My router is an Asus RT type wifi router.
My router is in AP mode as a "router" as
opposed to "gateway" mode.
My question pertains to the interface imq0
and imq1 of QOS.

Thank you for the extra information but still not enough information.
A few notes.
* You are running a two year old build not only unsupported and outdated the required functionality may be buggy or not present. We dont know because you dont provide all the information needed.

because it doesnt have a broadcast address doesnt mean you cant add one.
so with that said i still would like to know if this flag can be added
in dd-wrt. i know it exists in other distros.
configuring the qos devices/interfaces is common. required if you ask me.
i have an asus rt-acxxu wifi router.
if you are a developer you should know better to ask too personal of
questions. i am an engineer myself and im telling you proffessionally
you should be careful. just a suggestion.
asking why im working on this is not going to be a required thing
either but its because the imq0/imq1 interface needs to match
as identically to another device in my network, as possible.
another note of importance is the need to configure properly so that
it doesnt have a negative impact on the global side of things.

Please show us proof and output of ifconfig imq0 from a linux distro (after you've installed ifconfig since it's not installed by default on modern linux distros).
lo, eth0:1, eth0.1, vlan2, br0, pppoe-dsl, gre0, sit0 tun0, imq0, teql0, .. are virtual network interfaces that do NOT represent an existent hardware device but are linked to one (otherwise they would be useless). Virtual network interfaces were invented to give the system administrator maximum flexibility when configuring a Linux-based operating system. A virtual network interface is generally associated with a physical network interface (eth6) or another virtual interface (eth6.9) or be stand alone such as the loopback interface lo.

Are these interfaces available only when QoS is enabled? Is there no imq* interfaces in AsusWRT-Merlin? The following file leads me to believe these interfaces have nothing to do with QoS:
perhaps the fwd0 is not qos but im assuming that it does affect
qos, or rather qos affects it. i have decided that for a reason
the difference between two devices i have, is degraded performance
on the dd-wrt box. by adding these flags im trying to make up
for that difference. by adding other flags to the imq interfaces
i have closed a local global gap that is important.
i live in an area where these differences might not be apparent
to others because of their area.
1. wouldnt you agree that our isp's have superior equipment?
2. closing an important gap is important
3. in general dont you think that all interfaces that are on the
net should be matched as close to possible?

I inquired with RMerlin, and he stated that the fwd0 and fwd1 interfaces were related to the Broadcom drivers used in AsusWRT, i.e. the dhd driver (for packet forwarding, I presume). He couldn't confirm either way about ifconfig'ing imq interfaces, but I don't think that there is any way to change the hardware or broadcast address associated with them as they are virtual interfaces. Someone can always ask BrainSlayer, although he might be occupied and may not respond very quickly. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Plz don't forget that I'm talking about the broadcast flag. I'm not actually adding a broadcast address. I suppose that the broadcast address is needed however. Looks inconfigureable to me.
