I'm running up-to-date Dapper AMD64 with Firestarter 1.0.3 and NetworkManager 0.6.2. NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher start fine on my system (started by /etc/rc2.d/S12dbus, way ahead of S20firestarter), but you're right - apparently NM doesn't bring the interface up properly for Firestarter.
My primary NIC (eth0) is a wireless Intel card (ipw2200) that connects to a WEP encrypted network. Could this be the reason Firestarter init fails? Both the /etc/init.d/firestarter script and GUI work fine after I log in and enter my Gnome keyring password for nm-applet.
Here's my /etc/network/interfaces:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
Here's eth0 ifconfig output right after system boot (note: I added the x's):
eth0
Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
inet6 addr: xxxx::xxx:xx:xxxx:xxxx/xx Scope:Link

So NetworkManager does bring the interface up on system boot... strange this is not enough for Firestarter.
