I'm looking to secure a wireless LAN.

It looks like this:

  _______________________                     _____________
 / Wireless Lan          \   \ /             /          xl0->DSL/internet
<                         >- _|_<-ethernet->fxp0 router xl1->LAN
 \ Laptop-A Laptop-B etc /  wireless         \____________|
  '---------------------'   base-station


What I think I want to do is:
  block traffic going _through_ fxp0 but not _into_ fxp0,
  generate keys for each laptop on the router,
  give each laptop its own key, 
  have the laptops DHCP an address,
  have laptops authenticate via the key and negotiate secure connections,
  finally be done with this nightmare.

I don't really need any hooks into dhclient I think I can figure that
out on my own, it's just the key generation thing and dynamic addresses
that seem to be a real pain.

Anyone aware of any howtos on doing this?

thanks,
-Alfred
