           Summary: SuSEfirewall2 skips rules for interfaces which don't
                    exist at time of execution

The SuSEfirewall2 script checks if the interfaces provided in the
configuration actually exist and ignores all rules associated with it
if it doesn't. This could be a feature but is unfortunate
when an interface comes into existence after the SuSEfirewall2 script has
been executed. For example this happens with vboxnet0 which only gets
created once a user executes VirtualBox.

Temp workaround: manually restart the firewall whenever an interface gets
newly created (e.g. when executing VirtualBox) or modifying the
SuSEfirewall2 script and disabling the interface check (prob not recommended):

/sbin/SuSEfirewall2
  getdevinfo()
  {
      local dev="$1"
      echo "$dev"
      return 0
  }
