I'm using a small wireless router to send the signal from the cable modem to my Gentoo system across the room. I don't like using a non-Gentoo decision-making device in my network, but I also don't want to build and maintain another Gentoo system for only firewall/router duties. Am I overlooking another option? I want a "dumb" device to move the ethernet connection from one side of the room to the other. There may not be anything like that. I just thought I'd ask. - Grant
