This is sort of a useless post. Most home networks look like this...

Internet > Cable/DSL modem > Router > Computer(s)

Mine looks awfully similar to the rest. But, my firewall is also a wireless access point (and not one of these DSL/Cable router WAP things you get in Best Buy). I have a hub between the firewall and the DSL modem for an IDS sensor. I also have a sensor on the internal network. I just wish I had a machine to make a wireless IDS sensor, but that will come eventually.

Firewall: Dell POS 133
Wireless machine: iBook dual USB
External IDS sensor: Sun Ultra 10
Internal IDS sensor: (I have 2 because one is a "play" machine) AthlonXP 1800, Dual p3 866 (also the central management server)

There are a lot of neat "new" technologies that I look forward to playing with soon. Unfortunately, some of them will require an investment.

At one point, I had a linux box with three NICs which was the center of my home network. One to the Internet, one to my wired LAN, one to my wireless access point. The wireless access point NIC required a VPN connection so it effectively made 802.11b safe. It was great; the culmination of quite literally hours and hours of tweaking. It ran an rsync backup of our office nightly, had SSH administration, was a file server, had a sweet ipchains firewall, etc, etc. Then the hard drive crashed... I had backups but the work of getting everything configured again was overwhelming.

Now my network looks like everyone elses and I just change my WEP key periodically.

PS I'm waiting for IPCop to get similar functionality as my old setup. They speak of an 'amber zone' which will allow you to have a separate interface for your wireless network due to the security flaws of 802.11b. Don't think it's ready let, though.
