If anyone wants to do what Rick describes above, I have several 
Dreamplugs[1] lying around.
I'd be happy to give one (or more of them) away, in exchange perhaps for 
the promise that if anything useful is done with them the method of 
making it happen is 'open sourced' i.e. so I could make another do the 
same.

(It's got two ethernet ports.)

If one were to add a usb wifi dongle, it could be configured to serve as 
a wifi access point as well.
This I've successfully done using a Raspberry Pi.
