Hi,

I got a chance to see the start up sequence and the problem seems to be
that the wireless interface can't be found at boot time.

I get /etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter start exited with error 2 [or
something similiar]

I think there is some way to start iptables even if the interface is
down and have it applied as soon as the i/f comes up, but I don,t know
how to do this.

I have seen something like this on the forums, 

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
  pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
  post-down iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules

but will have to experiment a bit. The problem is I can't find those
files as I used Firestarter to create the rules?

Any help appreciated.
