This fails in the same way that putting it in 
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d fails, that is it does not configure my 
iptables properly.  syslog shows an error for the first file listed in
dispatcher.d where it showed the same error previously, with the 
firewall as the second file in dispatcher.d, but now the error is 
associated with the first file instead of the second.

from syslog
Jul 29 12:14:41 princess nm-dispatcher.action: Script 
'/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01ifupdown' exited with error status 1.
