For under $100 USD your best bet is to look for a used computer on craigslist or a yard sale and install another NIC in it. But, this will not get you at 5 watts or less. For under $200 look at either PC Engines ALIX boards or Soekris. eBay has plenty of them. You can manage 5W or less this route. For the Raspberry Pi you will not get OpenBSD. You will have to use Linux and configure it manually, including recompiling the kernel with iptables support. You *might* be able to get under $100, but it won't be under 5 watts and it will be a jalopy. USB ethernet adapters start around $25 new. -Gene
