Cisco Aironet Wireless Security

I have inherited a project that is a hotspot using multiple Cisco Aironet
Access Points.  The security concern is having users being able to "see"
each other.  They would like all users to be able to sign-on to the network
without needing to turn off file sharing on the user's computer and have
them "safely" surf the Internet without fear of another local user accessing
their files.  The hotspot is behind a firewall (PIX) so visibility from the
Internet is already addressed.

It appear that the Aironet will accept access lists.  Is this the best way
to provide the security or is there a better way?  Are there any 3rd party
packages that can provide this security?  

Thanks for any advice you can offer,

Al
