Great! OK I am encouraged to give it a try. But hardware-wise I will need

becomes redundant but it is a wireless machine so I would like to use it
anyway.

you'll need 2 nics, right.

If you use the wireless in the DSL modem, you'll be bypassing the BSD server.
Which may be fine if the kids' computer(s) cant do wireless. (beware of USB
wireless dongles ;) )


Is my thinking correct here?

what I have planned to do is use a non-wireless DSL modem in bridged mode
(DLINK 504T), connect to the BSD box.

BSD box with 2 NICs ('wan' and 'lan') as well as a DLINK G520 PCI Wireless
card (Atheros chipset) and make the BSD box the wireless AP.

And throwing in a small flash IDE drive for faster bootups.
