I'm looking for a device which I intend to use as a wireless router - 
and would like to load either bsd or linux on - with at least following: 
1xusb, 2xethernet, 2xmini-pci(e).

I found this : 
http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8377EWLAN
A bit pricey for what you get - but quite reasonable - would likely be 
cheaper if it was for mass market - think they maybe sell 100 a year if 
that.

I have looked also at:

  - routerboard : mikrotik doesn't really want to help people to load 
other OS on it - and it's a mission from what i've seen to do it
  - alix : a bit slow - and I don't really like the amd geode (seems 
like its not really made for router applications)
  - routerstation pro : probably best option price wise - but a bit more 
power would be nice - and board layout is bit awkward.

Any other ideas ?
