Assuming you will be putting the firewall between router and wired PCs then yes, the wireless will be unprotected - although don't forget the Linksys will have a NAT firewall anyway.
If you want to actually block anything, you might want to set the firewall IP as a DMZ in the linksys - so that the linksys doesn't filter out the crap before it gets to the firewall!
