I'm using a soekris for that purpose. It's got 128M RAM and runs at a
blistering 267MHz. I've got a mini-pci wifi card in it so it's my access
point, and it has 3 ethernet ports that you can do what you please with.
It's pricey compared to a WRT54GL, but it's very cheap and power
efficient compared to a dedicated FW computer.
I'm running OpenBSD on mine, but they run Linux just peachy. I bet IPCop
would run on one as well. Not that *I* would give up OpenBSD for edge
devices... ;-)
