[Click] Newbie question with regards to modifying bandwidth limits

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi mcd,

Much later... I imagine you figured out how to access elements' handlers via 
the /click file system.  /click/NAMEOFELEMENT/NAMEOFHANDLER.  For example, if 
you have a BandwidthShaper element named "shape", you could say

    echo 2Mbps > /click/shape/rate

to change its rate to 2Mbps.
