Smoothwall with speedtouch 330 and a linksys wireless router will it work ?

ok my dlink router is given up so i sent it back to ebuyer. so as temporary I need wireless access/security.

here is what I'm thinking to do install a smoothwall on my old p3 computer. and connect my speedtouch 330 usb for it to access the adsl then use my old linksys wireless router's switch section (with out using the WAN port) to give access to my wireless/wired computers.

will this idea works ? any good suggestion/corrections are welcome
 
330 (yuk) <--> p3 Comp <--> Linksys router <--> other comps should work

p3 = 192.168.1.1 ( is now the gateway)
linksys router = 192.168.1.2
others = to 192.168.1.x
subnet 255.255.255.0

hope that helps

no no I want to use my smoothwall p3 as the nat server. as some time I give my legal mp3s away ;) so I need to run my ftpserver. 2 nats will confuse and makes it harder 2 do port fw etc
 
it's a total nightmare. It doesn't work 1st smoothwall didn't recognize my speedtouch 330 adsl modem. then I couldn't use the wireless bit of my linksys router with out connecting to wan port. try connecting to wan port noting happen I think it's need a cross over cable :(.

All in all it's wasted my night :(
