That's is why you set up the AP on the blue port of a dedicated firewall
(think old PC & iptables). Then you define the blue interface as having
access only to the red interface. If *you personally* need wireless access
to the LAN, then you can VPN into the LAN.

For this, as well as iptables, you'd need to run pptpd (for a PPTP VPN, or
something else openSWAN? For an IPSEC VPN).

This is what I plan to do.
