Well, assuming that people like me already have a 192.168.x.x network at
home NATing onto the Internet, what'd be wrong with the wireless box with
it's 10.x.x.x IP NATing to the 192.168.x.x space? I know NAT's a pain but
what can you do in this instance?

I agree, but I am reluctant to start fuzting with my NATed and firewalled
home network which is working really well at the moment. Stupid protocols
for not allowing NAT. ;)
Anyway, it's up the the end user how they go about NATing and protecting
their systems from malicious wireless hackers.
