You need to rerun the wizard each time you switch, it will remember the 
settings, so you only have to change the device and comfirm the rest.
Of course this will be a stupid thing to do and the only real option I do 
see is

  1. run it first for ath0 and do the configurations you want for it.
  2. move the /etc/firestarter to /etc/firestarter-ath0

  3. run it now for eth0 and do the configurations you want for eth0.
  4. move the /etc/firestarter to /etc/firestarter-eth0

  5. you will now need to modify your init script(s), so that when you
     start ath0 'ln -sfn /etc/firestarter-ath0 /etc/firestarter' is
     executed and firestarter is restarted (if already started) and
     of course when you start eth0
     'ln -sfn /etc/firestarter-ath0 /etc/firestarter' is run and
     firestarter is restarted (if already running).

IMHO this will be the best option.
