I don't know anyone that has done it under Linux; however, tools exist,
or claim to exist, so it must be possible. (I've seen people use AltQ
from KAME under OpenBSD, btw..)

I'm hoping this website will be useful to you:
http://ds9a.nl/2.4Routing

As far as I can tell, the tools remain undocumented, and this is the
best attempt to document them yet.

Cheers!
