Re: [PLUG] Embedded 3-Port Firwall?

pfsense has tiny lightweight builds that run on almost anything.

I'm currently using an old Linux box as a firewall/router.  I'm running

(http://shorewall.net/three-interface.htm)  This system works great, but I'm 
looking for something that consumes less energy, so thought about loading 
OpenWRT or some other embedded Linux that would have the same ease-of-use as 
shorewall.  That way I would run a simple router instead of a 10-year old PC.

Has anybody created such a device?  Any advice to offer?
