>  Can anyone suggest other useful things to secure your wireless lan?

Stick a firewall in - put the wireless on a DMZ - restrict access from the
DMZ to your home network (green side)
and your internet access (red side).

Assign static IP addresses for all wireless devices - and use these in your
firewall policy.

Use ssh and ssl. (or maybe even an IPSEC VPN solution FreeSWAN for Linux ??
in fact smoothwall looks ideal for this)

Nick.
