Yes, again the eth0 interface is not being used.  It's not connected to
anything.  wlan0 is what does everything, as per the config files.  I
have the config files set that way because that's the only interface
that is used.

The router is a typical consumer-grade wireless router.

The Shorewall box is the workstation, which is connected to the
consumer-grade router, which is connected to the internet through its
wan port.  The Shorewall box workstation is also communicating with the
rest of the LAN (each machine of which is also running Shorewall)
through the consumer-grade router.  The consumer-grade router is the
switch for the LAN, plus it has the internet on WAN.

Yes and I get an error with shorewall check for that but I don't know
why.  There is no network local to this machine, although there may be
at some point down the line.
