[Soekris] Access point software?

[Joel Jaeggli]

It sounds like you really do want monowall just that you need to make 
some specific config changes after the install and before they're suiate 
for use...

specifically in this case once the third interface has been assigned you 
need to tell it to bridge the wireless and lan interfaces.

given the combo of hardware and application needs monowall seems 
entirely suitable.
