 It is not enough. Kernel with all needed drivers (think: netgrpah for
 PPPoE/L2TP/PPTP and other net/mpd5-supported protocols? USB for external
 drive, etc) and needed software (as system one -- WiFi stack, dhclient &
Ko, and ported one too -- dhcpd + mpd5 at least, and, may be, samba for
systems with USB port) is much bigger than typical
SOHO routers flash size. And I don't mention that we need some HTTPD and web
interface too.
