    It's a bit long and since it's not the one SuSE recommends, I didn't
    post it so I could get flamed for a long post.... Go win.

    From my wiki ----

    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
