Just a thought (we have not tried it). Have a NIC in the ASL that you attach a Wireless Access Point to. That should give you a separate network for wireless only. OR attach the Wireless Access Point to a port in your hub/switch if you want it on the same network.
A few months ago, I put a Cisco Aironet 350 PCI card into my ASL box, compiled a module for it in a mirror system and voilah. It's been up since and as long as the module is started, the middleware deals with it as a regular NIC. The 350 range has 100mW output as well, which makes my ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) "access point" outperform most cheapo wireless access point solutions that are sold today.
The good thing about putting it in the firewall, is that I get one box less (you should see my hallway closet...). Also, I use firewall rules to restrict traffic from the wireless interface/network. Surely, the easiest is to put a nic in there and connect it to an access point, but this worked good for me though.
