Bug #9467

vmx(4) interfaces do not have ALTQ support on pfSense 2.5, they had ALTQ support on 2.4

Description
Shamelessly copied from #7066 since it's the same issue here.
Attempting to configure traffic shaping on a pfSense 2.5 VMware VM with vmx NICs results in an error:
There were error(s) loading the rules: pfctl: vmx0: driver does not support altq - The line in question reads [0]:
The same configuration worked on pfSense 2.4.
If ALTQ support is removed from vmx and not coming back, we will need to remove vmx from the list of ALTQ-capable NICs and disable the shaper on upgrade if it is in use.

Don't think it's "shamelessly copied". 7066 was Affected Version: 2.4.0 from a 2.3 upgrade.
This is 2.5.0, it was fixed in 2.4.0. Then broken again in 2.5.0. I was on 2.4.0 and upgraded to 2.5.0, I can confirm it was working before the upgrade.
I'm running the;
2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)

esxi vmx interfaces are not working.
pfctl: vmx0: driver does not support altq
"If" you don't know if ALTQ is removed, and you don't know if it's not coming back, then wouldn't it be a good idea to think of this as an issue to be fixed? Thanks!

"shamelessly copied" meant I copied the text of the issue directly, only changing the version numbers.
ALTQ for vmx interfaces is something we patched in before -- it isn't present in FreeBSD natively -- So every time we move to a new version of FreeBSD, we have to adjust the patches and add it back in.

vmx(4) now uses iflib and it seems to support ALTQ by default. this is still an issue ?

Yep, this looks good on a current snapshot. No errors, rules are loaded, I'm seeing traffic in queues on vmx interfaces.
Thanks!
