Hi guys,

I have this problem too. I have two Internet routers connected to the
same Ethernet interface (using a hub). And each one obviously needs to
be shaped seperately. It seems like a very common and logical scenario
and this issue seems like a design problem.
Any Ideas on a workaround? Perhaps IMQ can be used somehow (although I
hear it has serious stability problems...)?

There is no need to use imq ant everything is easy to do anyway
interface name is usefull only to attach qdisc to something and that all
you need to clasify packets by source or destination ip antway

if you have idea how to use imq there then just use your interface instead.
also why it is so obvious that they must be shaped separately, ususly it is
much better to shape everything in one einterface
