I think for that issue it would be nice to have Network Manager
extended.

+: having different RuleSets of Ports being allowed and disallowed. I
could bind them to the SSID of a WLAN for example. Of course much more
difficult to distinguish between different wired networks.

Mazbe a similiar tool to NM just for the FW? Sitting in the tray and
showing different Firewall Rulesets?

There are other use cases with similiar problems like this. Samba is
one tool creating a BroadCast to find some services; Frozen Bubble for
example goes the same direction if you want to create a LAN Play. Users
have to fiddle with their FireWall configurations (or shut it down).

So I think there MIG+HT be some additional work required... most likely
nothing trivial to not open na huge whole.
