What's the best (scripting) strategy to handle differences between iptables and tc? Iptables will take 'ppp+' as an interface name. Tc won't.

Why do you need a wildcard ?

Because of a couple of different issues.

One, we need backward compatibility with other plugins that currently use wildcards...

And two, on some ATM or SONET devices, we can have multiple PPPoA streams over the same interface, to multiple destinations, dynamically... and need to be able to have a single rule to enumerate them all (since this can be dozens of sessions).
