Currently I have approx 100 users using captive portal which rules out using WEP or WPA (I dont want
to have to keep giving out the key.. hence my use of captive portal.)

From what I can read of your message (assuming I'm not
misunderstanding you), the encryption would be  from interface to
interface in that case, ie entirey internal to the firewall. I don't
know if it can be done, but I do know it would be pretty pointless -
nobody is likely to be logged in on the firewall and snooping what is
going on inside it. :)

The traffic that needs encrypting is the traffic going over the
airwaves from the wireless access point to the wireless device that is
communicating with it.

Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to
find easier ways to do something.
