Hi Jim,

This sounds exactly like what I do - I have a wireless access point connected 
via a cross-over cable to a separate NIC on the Bering-uClibc box. In fact I 
have 4 NICs - Internet (WAN) connection, Internal (LAN) connection, a DMZ and 
also the wireless LAN connection. I don't mind so much if somebody gets onto my 
wireless LAN and connects to the Internet, but I'd rather keep them off my 
wired LAN.

Basically you need to add another Interface, another Shorewall Zone and then 
define Rules and Policies like you get by default for the "loc" Zone. You'll 
also need an entry in /etc/shorewall/masq to NAT the wireless traffic out to 
the Internet. I've set things up so the wireless connection is more like the 
"loc" zone than "dmz".
