Ok guys/gals... now after all the nice hot-air discussions about NT vs Uniks...

... can anybody tell me how I could protect a wireless LAN? *G*

That's serious... we're looking into buying one of those wireless devices which 
will handle somewhere between 2 and 10 Mbps (best case though)... to connect a 
couple of remote offices.

As far as I see I'm pretty cleartext through the air... and anybody with the 
right equipment could sniff the hell out of my traffic...

So I guess something like this would be most sensible:

One of my sites(main master site):

[Main]   [Encryp-]   [ Fire ]   [ Wire-]
[    ]---[ tion  ]---[      ]---[ less ]- - - T H I S - I S - A I R -  
[Site]   [  box  ]   [ wall ]   [device] 




        [ WLAN ]   [ Fire ]   [Encryp-]   [Customer]
A I R - [      ]---[      ]---[ tion  ]---[        ]
        [Device]   [ wall ]   [  box  ]   [  Site  ] 



Well... hope it doesn't wrapp!!!  ;-)

Isn't that a bit too complicated? I mean it's great to have a free 2 - 10 Mb 
link to the customers (you pay somewhere around 14'000 sFr [1] monthly for a 2 
Mb link to the net) but having 3to4 boxes on every site is really not too cool.

Can anybody suggest any good Wireless LAN manufacturer? Any suggestions to the 
scenario (yeah I know that most firewalls can encrypt traffic... this scheme is 
just schmematic *G*). I had a look at Lucent... however... they didn't had much 
pictures  ;-)))
