Wireless Network Question

Hello everyone,
I'm looking into switching my office network to a wireless configuration. My main concern is I have a Cisco Secure Pix 506 firewall, can this also be used with a wireless system. It does a good job combined with the Norton corporate edition anti-virus software. Is this all I would need to worry about as far as security.
Thank you in advance to all who answer

I don't see why not - anything inside the firewall shouldn't make any difference, the wireless is simply taking the place of or working in conjunction with your hub/switch.

I'd also make sure you enable WEP on the wireless side. It's not absolute security, but it's way better than not having WEP enabled! If you're buying all new stuff, check to make sure it has 256bit WEP, might as well have the best security currently offered for wireless.
