Has anyone found any reasonably secure solutions for setting up a wireless
network in the home?

My current configuration is:

[Cable Modem] -ethernet- [GnatBox PC Firewall] -ethernet- [2 PCs]

I would like to have a similar setup such as:

[Cable Modem] -ethernet-  [ ??  PC with 1 ethernet card and 1 802.11 card,
software? ] -Wireless- [2 PCs]

I'd like to find a software solution that can make use of an old PC that I
have, similar to what can be done with Gnatbox (www.gnatbox.com).  The
external interface needs to be firewalled, and the internal interface needs
to support 802.11b, and preferably VPN since I don't trust WEP.  I could
keep the Gnatbox setup if I purchased a hardware 802.11b AP, but it's a lot
cheaper to throw an extra wireless PCI card into the same box as the
firewall.  It's just too bad that Gnatbox doesn't support wireless yet...
