Addressing, was Re: [MLB-WIRELESS] more important issues

So is anyone even considering setting up a separate gateway for the wireless
side of things? Wouldn't this resolve a lot of the home networking issues? 
By the way, my leanings are towards 172.16.0.0/12 for address space.

I suggest the 172.16.0.0/12 subnet if only for the fact that it is the least
commonly used reserved subnet so the chance of overlap between other private
network space is least likely.
