Yes, but I've had nothing but hassles trying to get wep working.  And
that's Windows, which is supposed to make things like that easier.  The
only platform I've ever got WEP working properly thus far was my
powerbook under OS X.  And that was with an airport access point.  With
my linksys, I got wep working with one windows xp client, but not
another one.  Go figure.  Of course, I'm probably doing things wrong. 
So right now I just have my access point on it's own subnet (acting as a
switch, not a router) with my firewall protecting my real network from
the wireless, and giving me better control over dhcp.

Also, I defend my use of the words "demilitarized zone."  In some sense
of the term, what I was describing was in fact a network behind a
firewall that controls access.  Hosts within the DMZ are severely
restricted on what they can attack, and the only way through the
firewall is through the vpn.
