I have achieved much, if not all that functionality with a wireless
router and a ReadyNAS Duo. The best part is the 2 HDDs in the ReadyNAS
are in a Raid configuration providing even better backup security. OK,
it's not as simple as a MAC, but that's part of the joy of using Linux,
learning how to configure things yourself. So I know that my wireless
LAN is secured with AES encryption and access restrictions using secure
passwords, (I don't even remember them), which are held in a local kwallet.
