Pix and linksys wireless router

Hi , I have a pix 501 and a Linksys wrt310N. I would like to be able to provide wireless network and internet access to my client on my private network. Presently i have the pix as the firewall protecting the network which I am happy with. Want to know how to configure the wrt310 so that the client who are wireless can still access my network. I realise that I am able to get internet connection but not network access. This is because the wrt310n is also running a dhcp and is assinging address to my clients  on a diffent subnet. Is there a way to configure both devices so that I can have wireless  and wired connection to my network and the internet. Also am i defeting the purpose of the PIx if i am placing a Wireless router after it on the inside ?

I would get a wirless access point not a wirless router, this way the fire wall can handle all your routing and you can configure the wirless acces point to let the existing DHCP server han out the address

I have a cisco AP350 that I can use but didn't want to since I can only use Wep on it. I wanted to be able to use a higher encryptiion like WPA that the linkss provides. Is it possible to configure the linksys and the ASA with static routes  ?  Is this possible  ?  or is there an upgrade software for teh AP350 that would allow me to use WPA as the encryption ?
