Well, I did say that I never tested it... It's very likely that
NetworkManager completely ignores these /etc/network/ scripts.

Load the iptables rules on boot rather than when a network interface
comes up? IIRC /etc/init.d/iptables even has built-in support for this:
you set up your firewall, then run 'sudo /etc/init.d/iptables save active'
and it will automatically restore that setup on boot.

What script? Sorry, but you didn't reply to Marius' post and I don't see it
on my system (it's more than two weeks ago, iirc). How did you create the
iptables rules? They don't just create themselves.
