The other idea I had as to define some sort of "first wildcard unit"
value to pass instead of 0 as the start of the rman call.  I'd probably
put it under net.link and suggest that clone implementers use it (I
can't see any point in making it a per interface type value.)  As the
other interface clone implementer, what do you think?
