Thanks for this info.

I found two of the three parts that could fit in a solution like this:

1) ADSL2+ card
http://www.traverse.com.au/productview.php?product_id=115
It is supposed to be seen just like a realtek NIC :)

2) Setup NetBSD as an access point:

Thanks the author for this.

Still looking for the right board (preferably MIPS, ARM) with two
PCIs (a used/old/cheap board would be fine).
I instantly thought of EFIKA board but looks like it is
discontinued plus any further work that would be needed to run
NetBSD on this.

Take care
