Hi Glen,
Couple of issues with using the above as a regex.

The period character means any character except newline in a regex.  By
chance it works for the string you're looking for but it really should be
escaped with a backslash character.

The "\d{2}" looks for two digits and you only have one digit in that
position in the string.  If you want to allow for 1 or 2 digits, you can
use either "\d{1,2}" or "\d\d?"

So your regex would be (untested):

<q
xsi:type="xsd:pattern">IGD\.NetDevice\.\d{1,2}\.NetCommonInterfaceConfig\.</q>
