While there: What's the chance of getting NetBSD ported to a AVM Fritzbox? 
The hardware is a TI Avalanche MIPS SoC w/ an AR7, ethernet is realized 
via ADMtek AMD9660; USB, DSL, POTS and ISDN are included on the SoC, and 
the system has 32MB RAM and 8MB flash. Linux-Sources and lots of 
information [1] is available, but I lack the hacking skills... :(
