o  a network interface name (such as eth0). This may
             include shell-like wildcards so eth* will match any
             interface starting with the sub-string "eth"

This last part implies that all shell wildcards can be used, but that
is not the case. I tried "eth[1-9]" and it failed. If only "*" or "?" are supported, then that should be stated explicitly.

Or, it could be improved to use these patterns!

Well, I think that's debatable as the man page doesn't make the
assumption that all shell wildcards are supported.

True, but why mention "shell" wildcards at all, then.
