I'm looking at setting up a secure WLAN gateway/firewall using Linux.  As
the machine is going to be dedicated to the task, I am not restricted to
useing any specific distribution to suit other apps (unlike previous
systems).  Also, I will be using one of the Enterasys $50 cards in the
wireless router in IBSS mode.

What I need is a Linux distro which supports FreeS/WAN out of the box, as
well as having all the wireless extensions available for installation, as I
won't have a lot of time to fiddle with kernels (this is a background
project), but want to use IPSec where possible to create secure tunnels
across the wireless part of the network.
