The kernel takes a lack of options as indication that the fw classifier
should operate in compatibility mode, where marks are mapped directly to
classids.
Commit e22b42a (tc mask patch) broke this by adding an empty TCA_OPTIONS
attribute even if no handle is specified. Restore the old behaviour.

update: Fix the spelling of "hexidecimal"
This updates the help output to specify that CLASSID should be hexidecimal.
This makes sure that a user entering "flowid 1:10" gets his flow put into
band 15 (0x10) and knows why.

Hello Stephen,
As the current maintainer of iproute2 package, you could be interested
in including the attached patch that allow using masks in the fw filter
of the tc utility (very useful at least for me). AFAK, it works at least
from iproute2 version 2.6.20-?. Feel free to make the appropriate
cleaning changes if necessary, or contact me if you see any trouble.
Best regards,
François Delawarde.
