My opinion for business need is that if you treat the wireless subnet the same way you treat a direct Internet connection, then you should be safe.
I treat our wireless network as part of our corporate network. It is exclusively intended for our and our employees use.
ie. connect the wireless to the unsecure Internet, not to the secure side of your firewall. If you want wireless to be semi secure, then create a DMZ and put it in there, but never connect it to a secure network. Use VPNs etc. if you need connectivity.
Hmm, how about this comparison - if you want access to my secure physical network, you only need to break down a door and plug in your ethernet. If you want access to my wireless ditto, you need to break WPA. Both are doable, both are criminal, but the former takes less effort.

Wasn't WPA cracked a couple months ago? I don't care because I treat all wireless as unsecure. Apparently you treat it as secure, so you have to keep track of these things.
