I recall smoothwall has a 3 NIC variant. I suggest adding a third NIC and
put the wireless on that one.

modem -- [red] SW [green] -- internal LAN
                         [orange]
                              |
                      wireless router WAN port

Use SW capabilities for a DMZ to isolate the wireless off the LAN. Use a
seperate IP space for dhcp on the wireless.
