Well, SuSe Linux that I use is using about that much RAM and disk space
just to install. And I am not into mix, blend and roll your own.

Well, you have to have to valid end points I don't care what O/S you're
using. The VPN end points must be client to server software solutions. Or
you can install the VPN client software solution on a machine and install
the server solution as part of the firmware of a low-end wireless
firewall appliance. But I don't think the VPN will apply for a LAN
situation period wired or wireless and is only for remote connections
over the Internet with a client machine. However, you'll need to check on
it. The other VPN solution is hardware to hardware -- router to router.

The only thing you might be able to do is an AD-HOC wireless solution on
a gateway computer with wireless client machines using IPsec on the
gateway server machine between the client machines.

I don't think you're going to find a hardware VPN solution for the
wireless machines on the LAN.
