is
immaterial. You can simply consult the IPSEC documentation to see how to
do what you are asking and you can look at my configuration
(http://shorewall.net/myfiles.htm) for a working example. While my network
uses an external AP rather than a wireless NIC with hostap, that too is
irrelevant with respect to both the Shorewall and IPSEC configuration.
