Well, this will probably work.  It will make all your wireless
workstations on the 10.0.1.X/24 network appear to be coming from
10.0.0.5 (the wireless router).  This works well as long as you don't
need to initiate connections from your wired network back to a wireless
machine (i.e. file sharing via Samba/FTP/etc).

Check the routing table on the other machines on the wired 10.0.0.X/24
network and make sure they have a route to the 10.0.1.X/24 network via
the 10.0.0.5 interface.
