        Depending on your access point you may be able to grab a wireless signal and feed it to pfsense. I don't know if pfsense directly supports it with a wifi card. That's something I plan to play with at some point.

          You can setup a wifi client interface as a WAN, and Ethernet as LAN, and do just that.
