You could use a Netscreen firewall, and have IPSec clinets on your 
wireless systems, with a policy as follows  [any any encrypt] on the
clients.
Then you will have IKE policies, so that this clients can establish
a tunnel to the "trusted" interface.
Or if you like you could have the same setup to a dedicated applicance
and tunnel to the untrusted [you dont have to].
Also just so that you know, the NS is the only box out there that
lets you create a tunnel to the trusted interface.,
It will work like a charm.
