New Access point?
[Edited to make this clearer]

Why don't you hook the bridge up to the box you want to use as your firewall, and use that box as your wireless hub? Then you'd only need two...

New Security issue.
Y'see, I don't want to share my internet connection out with the entire neighborhood - and as we're all aware, the current protocols for wireless security are pretty much a joke. What I was going to do was to run a two-way firewall, and only allow VPN'ed traffic through in both directions. Anything that couldn't connect to the VPN would find itself in a dead-end situation, a network to (literally) nowhere.

New Simple.
Comcast is run by a bunch of arrogant pricks that like to shut off broadband for any reason they can think of. I don't want to give them excuses, especially due to a lack of alternatives in our location.
