An idea that springs to mind (well, it sprung some time ago, but I had
no-one to tell it to) is pppoe to your firewall. Then you block all IP
traffic on the interface talking to the AP (or not even configure IP at
all) and only allow from authenticated ppp interfaces. No encryption I
guess, but it's a start.
