Individual wireless-to-wired connection?
Hi all -
Like a lot of people, the convenience of wireless networking appeals to me, but I just don't trust its security in comparison to wired networks. So I've been looking for a portable device which has a wireless receiver on one end and a wired connection on the other, with a hardware firewall built into it. If I had a PC, it would be ideal to have it on a PC card, but I have a Mac, so it would have to be a separate device. I've seen virtually nothing like this. The one exception has been a 3Com card for enterprise deployment, where the firewall controls are remotely controlled by a server, which of course isn't what I want.
So my question is: has anyone encountered such a device? Do people think this is a stupid idea, or a bright one?
Thanks in advance.
