I actualy want to implement a network topology very similar to have
described, even though I have helped all my neighbors that are within range
of my WAP to install their WAP's. :-) Anyway, last week I drew up a
current/proposed network design using Visio.

See: http://www.infohiiway.com/network

I was thinking of using my linux box as a bridge and use iptables to filter
on the MAC addresses/ports for the wireless devices. Shorewall makes it
rather easy to implement this strategy. Plus, it would be a good learning
environment for me to better understand linux's capabilities with bridging.

Now I just need to find the time...
