I've never been able to get that to work. In practice, what I've seen is
that in setting the speed on the two interfaces for say, an asymmetrical
connection like 256/128kbps, results in both interfaces set to 128k. Thus,
so far, what I've seen is that you can bw limit with Karlnet, but only as
long as you want symmetrical. For anything else, I use Mikrotik.
