At what point in the boot process does your wireless LAN come up?
Is it a regular initscript at a fixed place, or do you use something
like NetworkManager, which only brings it up when you log in?

If it's a regular initscript, you could just move shorewall to start
later in the boot process, after the wireless LAN.
