 Linux solves this problem by using busybox instead of all separate
utilities, as far as I understand/know.

  I've presented TP-Link 3G router (3420? I don't remember exactly
already) to my old parents (for their out-of-town summer cottage), and
I was shocked by size of firmware for it. And it contains not only
kernel (with firewall, NAT, and all this network stuff), but Web
interface and some dhcpd!

 It looks like, we need project to create system with FreeBSD kernel,
ucLib and busybox. We have busybox in ports, but it is linked with
system libc (which is huge) and I'm not sure, that it supports
something like "ifconfig" with all bells and whistles, and we need
ipfw, some PPP and other stuff too...
