Unless you are going to be using a stand alone offline root CA which would
be very unusual for a small domain you really want to an Enterprise CA in a
domain. If not too much of a problem you could uninstall CA services from
the server and reinstall it as Enterprise CA. Enterprise CA can make it much
easier to request and issue computer and possibly user certificates via
Group Policy particularly when the CA is installed on Windows 2003
Enterprise edition which lets you use version 2 templates. You might be able
to do what you want to issue the certificate needed for the WIFI as is but
down the road you may want to take more advantage of PKI in your domain and
then you will appreciate an enterprise CA.
