Firestarter, not provided with AntiX, but a nice GUI firewall has some great config options, but it seems to lack the ability to switch between 2 different interfaces like wired and wireless.

I have found a few posts on other forums about getting it to auto-switch, but I need those with more experience to have a look at these scripts to see if they can be made to work with AntiX.

The first is
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========

====================================
This link shows how to manually edit each connection, works, but a pain for roaming wireless.
The second is

. This one looks like it will work just fine, though
and the third, based in part on the second, but more automated is

, where the OP has written a script to get firestarter to switch interfaces automatically, but it's based on his system working with networkmanager.

My question is, will any of these scripts work with AntiX, with some modification if required?
