Why? Does it hurt anything to have the rules active when you're not connected?
I can't see how it would. All the rules do is cause the kernel to eat up a
small amount of additional memory. Iptables rules are kernel data structures,
not programs. Netfilter is part of the kernel. Iptables rules merely program
the behavior of Netfilter.
Just run your iptables script at startup and forget about it. Or, are you
having some kind of problem that you think this up/down/up/down/up/down of your
iptables rules will solve?
firestarter (GUI for iptables) would not start when the main interface had been set up to go out the internet is inactive/not connected
