I see Debian's been ported to ALIX: https://code.google.com/p/debian-for-alix/ I couldn't tell if there's a ALIX board with wireless, and non-binary drivers? I do see that the Dream Plug has wireless and two NICs: http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware The next version D2 Plug, though, only has one NIC. So it wouldn't make a very good home router since the one NIC would have to go to the WAN connection, and you wouldn't have one for local devices. I did a bit of research on OpenWRT types of devices, and whether Debian would run on them. It turns out it does, but with some problems. DebianWRT http://wiki.debian.org/DebianWRT Running Debian on ASUS WL-500G deluxe http://wpkg.org/Running_Debian_on_ASUS_WL-500G_deluxe The wireless driver is a binary kernel module (first problem), and it needs a 2.4 kernel (second problem.)
