The problem is in the (generated) file /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh.
The following lines:

IP=`/sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \\  -f 1`
MASK=`/sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep Mas | cut -d : -f 4`
BCAST=`/sbin/ifconfig $IF |grep Bcast: | cut -d : -f 3 | cut -d \\  -f 1`

fails when the local is other than English, because they look up several
keyword ("Mas", "Bcast:") which doesn't appears in ifconfig in Spanish.
Example:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ LANG=C ifconfig eth0
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:18:f3:53:b2:9a  
          inet addr:192.168.2.100  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

As a workaround, you can hack the /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh file,
replacing the three above lines with the following:

IP=`LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep inet | cut -d : -f 2 | cut -d \\  -f 1`
MASK=`LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig $IF | grep Mas | cut -d : -f 4`
BCAST=`LANG=C /sbin/ifconfig $IF |grep Bcast: | cut -d : -f 3 | cut -d \\  -f 1`
