Quite probable, I have observed a number of times the same behaviour for
DSL.

AFIK shorewall wants to know (detect) the addresse of the external
interface in order to start.

I usually add a script to /etc/init.d which just loops a few times
unless a default gateway is available. If it times out we have worse
network problems anyway. This script typically runs before shorewall or
any other network dependent scripts are started.
