Bandwidth shaping not working on additional network cards

Hello.
Does BWManager work with multiple network cards?
Example:
When the PC has one net card, all rules work well and traffic is shaped correctly.
After I install another two net cards into that PC, I check - a lightweight filter is added on both cards.
Then I add rules and place them on top of the list, but no traffic shaping happens. The rules do not count traffic (received/sent/total fields), and no throughput bars are present.
I tried to select only this network interface in the filter, then change it back to All interfaces - no result.
Really, traffic goes through these two added cards, the rules I wrote are right, but the shaper works only on the first old card and doesn't work on the other two.
OS: Win10x64

It is possible that one of the earlier rules (listed above the problematic rule) is capturing the traffic, preventing it from reaching the rule you are testing. To resolve this, try creating a new Any-to-Any rule, select a specific network interface, and position it at the top of the ruleset. This should allow you to see some traffic being captured by it.
