Ok.  Thanks.
I was looking at the scripts for the dispatcher.  Looks like the
interface and its status are passed to the scripts.
What am am doing is what I am sure many have already done, but I've
hacked the firestarter.sh script to restart firestarter with the correct
interface when the interface has changed.  A dispatcher script seems to
work for this.
I probably am doing this the hard way, but it works.
