I'm pretty sure Untangle has a bridge mode. Not completely sure, as I haven't played with it for very long.
I'd like to know too, though.

Isn't that just a firewall and not a router?

say your pfsense router is set to 192.168.0.1 you can set your wireless router up to 192.168.0.2 with dhcp off, and plug the LAN side into into your switch.
Now your wifi router will act as a wifi bridge to your pfsense router. you can still access it via 192.168.0.2 to control your wireless settings and encryption.
You don't need a gigabit nic for your WAN/Internet connection side. Unless you have >100mbit/s service

-- may want to use a little better nic if you care about it... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833106121
also, if you are using a decent machine, increase your States from 5000 if you do things like p2p or use bittorrent. easily turn a spare computer into a router that would cost >$4000 if you were to get the same features in a commercial product.
