Hi
I was wondering if such a thing exists: An embedded Linux in an RJ45 extender (coupler) that could be used either...
- as a tiny firewall between a PC and a switch/hug, or
- as an invisible proxy that can rewrite data on the fly?
Ie. a cross between
and
Thanks for any info.

Not exactly, because it has an RJ45 on one end, but a serial port on the other. I was thinking of a coupler with a Linux in-between, to act either as a firewall or a transparent proxy to rewrite data.
The closest I can think of is a Technologic TS7300. Not quite what you're looking for probably.
You can also look at Gumstix - they have ethernet modules; I don't know if you can stack them.

The AVR32 Gateway Reference Design has two RJ-45 connectors and runs Embedded Linux. Sells for $69 single qty. You need power supply and a box... Linux Source is downloadable from
Thanks guys for the input. With PoE now available, I'm surprised that this type of tiny firewall isn't available.
