I tracked the problem with firestarter down to /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks 
which contains the line "sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start" which 
starts firestarter independed of the firestater init script.  Removing 
this line solves the selinux errors and the firewall policy still seems 
to be in effect.  I am theroizing that the line above is executed when 
the dhclient daemon attempts to shutdown  as well as start thus 
attempting to start the firewall while closing the interface.  I think 
this is what selinux is flagging.  I haven't checked to see if there is 
a reason for that command yet.
