Got it, so according to that email chain it wont be fixed for a couple of 
reasons including latency and also...:
"2) appropriateness
    a) many of the things people used to do in pre-up or pre-down
scripts (munging routing tables, other stuff) are better done by
*modifying the connection config itself*"

1.- Ok, how can I get the iptable to load a configuration file using the
above recommended method of "modifying the connection config itself"?

2.- Also, adding any type of script using this method, wouldnt it do the
same as the preup/predown scripts folder?  Couldnt it also fault against
the same reasons for which the pre-up/pre-down phase was taken away?

I realize that my questions my sound sarcastic to some but I didnt ask
them in such a "tone".  I'm simply not as knowledgeable in *nix and want
a solution to my specific use (loading iptables configuration before the
network interface is up).

Thank you and forgive my lack of knowledge,

Marlon
