you should really take more care to get your facts straight, imho. it's 
not the first time you try to request on that issue...
you also should read the iptables tutorial:
http://www.frozentux.net/documents/iptables-tutorial/

still having a hard time to figure out what you want, this is my best guess:


#!/bin/bash

ipt=/sbin/iptables
if_wlan=wlan0
allow_net=10.0.0.0/24
allow_hosts="24.25.5.148 24.25.5.147"

# first set INPUT policy to DROP
$ipt -P INPUT DROP

# allow from allowed network
$ipt -A INPUT -i $if_wlan -s $allow_net -j ACCEPT

# allow from certain hosts
for host in ${allow_hosts}; do
    $ipt -A INPUT -s $host -j ACCEPT
done

# log what is left, as the policy will drop it afterwards
$ipt -A INPUT -j LOG --log-level 7 --log-prefix "INPUT_POLICY_DROP: "
