For the archives, here's the finished workaround for using shorewall
with SuSE 9.3


Put the following in /etc/rc.d/S07shorewall, right after
 start)
and before
 exec /sbin/shorewall -f start

(Mind the word wrap - there are blank lines between each command)


echo "Stabilizing eth interface names" >/var/log/ifaceinit

echo -n "Stabilizing eth interface names"

echo "Before------------------------------" >>/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/ifconfig >>/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down >>/var/log/ifaceinit 2>>/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/ifconfig eth1 down >>/var/log/ifaceinit 2>>/var/log/ifaceinit

'# remember to insert YOUR MAC ADDRESSES - these are mine!

/sbin/nameif foo0 00:40:05:7A:E0:84 >> /var/log/ifaceinit
2>>/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/nameif foo1 00:09:5B:BD:A5:98 >> /var/log/ifaceinit
2>>/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/nameif eth0 00:40:05:7A:E0:84 >> /var/log/ifaceinit 2>>
/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/nameif eth1 00:09:5B:BD:A5:98 >> /var/log/ifaceinit 2>>
/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up >>/var/log/ifaceinit 2>>/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/ifconfig eth1 up >>/var/log/ifaceinit 2>>/var/log/ifaceinit

echo "After----------------------------" >>/var/log/ifaceinit

/sbin/ifconfig>>/var/log/ifaceinit

'# assumes eth0 is your external interface - if it isn't, change this
line!

route add default eth0

'# put this here just to make me happy

echo " - OK"

sleep 10
