I've been playing around with the Linksys WRT54G and GS models.  These
sport a 200Mhs MIPs cpu and you can flash the firmware to run custom Linux
builds.

Check out http://docs.sveasoft.com/ and http://openwrt.ksilebo.net/

Linux 2.4.20 kernel, iptables, QoS iproute2+tc stuff all built in.

Horror stories - you can flash the firmware and screw yourself so be
careful.  These Linksys routers range from $60 - $120 mailorder - retail.
A really cheap router.  No fans too, and only 12V.
