If you are not worried about plain text traffic being sniffed, then 
you should be able to establish a "sensibly secure" system:

- Allocate a static IP address to your wireless card.
- Allow routing of this IP address to your secure intranet, filtering 
by Mac address at the firewall.

Voila, only *your* wireless card can access your intranet.
Common sense says: use ssh for telnet sessions & tunnel non-anon ftp,
rely on windows encrypted password exchange for authentication.

I'd be happy with that level of security in a domestic environment 
myself.
