I don't know if Coyote supports IPSec, but since Coyote is a
single-floppy distro, I kinda doubt it. You might need to use a
CDROM-based distro, or use a normal harddisk install. There is a
project called FreeS/WAN that is supposed to be a real (and free) IPSec
package. It should run under any real Linux. It is used as an IPSec
VPN-ish solution. It really shouldn't care if you are using Wireless or
not. Disclaimer: I have never used FreeS/WAN.
