I try to configure a tap0 device with link_config plugin to set speed
manually. I set some arbitrary values in OpenWRT config for testing:
------------
config interface
        option ifname 'tap0'

        option rx_bitrate '20480000'
        option tx_bitrate '1000000'
        option rx_max_bitrate '20000000'
        option tx_max_bitrate '1000000'
        option rx_signal  '20480000'
-----------------

But when listing olsrv2info route I always get 1020bit/s:

2001:67c:1400:2430:5054:ff:fea0:3100	fe80::1427:f0ff:fec3:e52c	-	::/0	2
14	100	tap0	9	2001:67c:1400:2432:c04a:ff:fe40:adc2	0	ff_dat_metric
1020bit/s (1 hops)	2105088	1

I checked that the link_config plugin is loaded.

Now I have two questions:
- Does anybody now what I am doing wrong?
- I want to set the speed for an vpn interface with speed of 50mbit/s
down and 10mbit/s up. What would be your advice to set the values for
the link_config plugin. It would be nice to have some example on the
documentation [1] page. I search for examples in the internet but
without success.

Thanks,
Martin
