Actually, if you don't want to integrate it with shorewall, it's also
fine. You just need to create a new initscript for it. 

I've done it a few times, eg: when I wanted to make sure that once I
detect I'm running on battery, I stick to the min freq of 600Mhz. 

I would say it works.

And I doubt doing the iptables-save routine will actually save the tc
rules. 

I may  be wrong... but...
