m0n0wall, a freebsd based router/firewall project is built for both the 
soekris net45xx and net48xx boxes. m0n0wall 1.2 is based on freebsd 4.x and 
m0n0wall 1.3 (which i'm currently maintaining) is based on freebsd 6.x. 
we've seen clear degradation of network throughput between m0n0 1.2 and 
1.3. we usually use iperf for throughput testing with the m0n0wall sitting 
in between. search the m0n0wall lists for past throughput comparisons.
