shorewall setup troubles

[Jay Ridgley]

Folks,

Base info 8.04 LTS kernel 2.6.24-27-generic

Just spent the morning getting shorewall 4.0.6-1 up and functioning. 
Happy with that, as it appears to be configured correctly and everything 
still works...

The reason for moving to shorewall was to allow me to subnet a wireless 
router (AirLink AR430W) as an access point. The guide 
www.shorewall.net/two-interface.htm (which is VERY good) says in Adding 
a Wireless Segment to your Two-Interface Firewall all that needs to 
happen is to add an entry in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file for the 
interface, which in my case is eth2:

loc	eth2	detect	maclist

and add an entry to /etc/shorewall/masq file to masquerade traffic:

eth0	eth2

I have done that, when I try to restart shorewall I get an error message 
that states something about the interface must be up first and stops. I 
have checked and sudo ifconfig eth2 up works and the log says it is 
being managed,

What have I missed???? Where else can I look for errors(the syslog just 
shows that it stopped)?

Thanks,
Jay
