Firewalls with wireless security

Hi,

Some firewalls (e.g. Zonealarm), state that they incorporate wireless security...is this actually a feature or is it just marketing hype?

I'm looking to try a different Firewall and I use a wifi network at home, so I want to know if there's anything to this claim.
Thanks.

I imagine it would allow you to alter settings via wizzards i.e you connect to a hotspot in town so it closes all incoming ports, but then you connect back to your home network and then it allows local computers access to your PC and ensures you have Wi-Fi security (WEP or WPA etc), but then i could be wrong:(
