Sounds similar to what I do at home: put the access point in its own DMZ with separate subnet (10.66.6.x <- the '666' was intentional) then just firewall the MAC addresses I have, and run IPsec (VPN essentially) between wireless devices and the Linux box. (In keeping with sigmonster's religious theme...)
