networking - Transparent proxy for wired+wireless network

I want to install squid as a transparent proxy for my home network.


I have a HP microserver currently serving as my NAS+media server. I am thinking if I get a second NIC for the server I can lay the network out as follows:


[internet] <---> [modem+router] <---> [microserver] <---> [rest of network]

With this layout I can then install dhcp, DNS, squid and anything else I would like to have between me and the internet.


Now on to the problem: The modem+router device is also responsible for the wifi portion of my network. I would really like to have the wifi network also go through the proxy. Is there any way of doing this without getting a separate modem or wifi access point?


This is the adsl router that I have, it was supplied by my ISP.


The first prize answer will be where I can simply remove the microserver from the picture without needing to reconfigure settings on the router and/or client devices.
