I think it's for security reasons. If eth0 goes up first and the |
| 7 |
iptables some (short) time after that. Then in that (short) time some, |
| 8 |
perhaps malicious, could come in. Which should be blocked be some |
| 9 |
iptable rules, that still have to be loaded. |

That time should be pretty short, but better safe then sorry, so |
| 11 |
iptables is started first. |
