In the general case it's really, really difficult to achieve that - without 
hand-coding some intermediate firewall states.

Eg, an ethernet interface will come up almost instantly, a PPP interface will 
take a variable length of time (and may not even come up straight away). I 
suppose you could add a "post up" clause to your network config to add iptables 
rules to block all traffic on the interface until the firewall gets (re)started.
