The instructor on a Linux course I went on recently had a wireless setup at 
home.  He used IPSec, and any traffic coming through the wireless network 
that was not through the IPSec tunnel was just dropped to the floor.

Might be a bit more work to set up initially, but it is what one would have to 
do if going out via the internet anyway.
