More likely the problem is out of date versions of tc or picking up
the wrong version of tc from the PATH. Some distro's put tc in /sbin
but the current iproute2 'make install' puts it in /usr/sbin.  With
the latest iproute2 the netem support is in the shared library
/usr/lib/tc/q_netem.so. I could have built it into tc but wanted to
use netem as test case for the extensiblity with shared libraries,
and it solves build/link issues with older kernels.
