I would recommend a linksys WRT54g as both the DSL Router/AP.  These little guys run
linux, a group has started to put out modded flash images that add neat features.  I use
one as both my DSL auth client (with external ethernet modem in bridged mode) and wireless
AP.

I expect they will add IPsec et al sooner or later, but you can always roll your own.

Cheers,
Tom
