Have you verified it connects and gets an IP without Shorewall being installed? (To check if it’s related to Shorewall at all.) If that works, the next step I would try, is the most minimal and open Shorewall configuration possible. (To check if it’s your configuration or Shorewall itself.) Finally if that still works (verification it can work at all), you could add parts of your configuration, from the general to the specific, until it stops working. And there would be the problem. If you can’t solve that one for yourself, I’d recommend asking here, and attaching the details about that specific rule or setting that caused it.
