Seems like a good purpose for a 486 or Pentium with two network cards would be to act as a firewall and proxy between wireless clients and the rest of the network. Each base station or access point could then be isolated from the rest of the network, and only authorized clients could be allowed in.
Authorization could be done over SSL, and all access could be controlled via web proxy and ftp proxy. SSH could be used for terminal access (through the firewall).
Are people using these "wireless" solutions that way? Is there one out there already?
