i cannot help noticing that many small router boxes are available
on the market which have an ethernet and a modem and do all sort
of things (autodial, dhcp, nat...) for a price of $200 or less
and a very small form factor.

Even the apple airport (or the wavelan 'RG' base station)
cost some $250-300 and has an 802.11 interface.

probably the 'net' one, and one based on FreeBSD 3.x or 2.x (due to
code bloat, i am not sure 4.x can run in 8MB).

You might need to backport the build scripts and file tree 
and crunchgen modifications from 4.3 to 3.x/2.x
