A queue is bound to one interface, but, you can have multiple queues with the same name. "queue foo on em0", "queue foo on em1". An assignment in PF e.g. "queue foo" will then use whichever is the relevant "foo on $iface" when packets are transmitted which match the PF state created by that rule. (But to be honest I would probably do the queueing in the wireless LAN router instead, they usually have a way to set a bandwidth limit "per client" which is quite convenient, to do similar with PF you need to create a separate named queue for each IP address in the subnet ..) -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
