There are several configs, pics and various outputs from my Soekris net4801-50
box I bought recently.  It is connected to ADSL modem, wifi AP and to an
ethernet provider.  I am running mpd, natd, named, dhcpd, ntpd, inetd, ipfw,
bsnmpd, nginx and sshd there.  Basically I used "NanoBSD Howto" which is a part
of the FreeBSD Documentation Project:

There are some interesting hints at phk's home page, e.g. a tool for environment
monitoring:

	http://phk.freebsd.dk/soekris/env4801/

It is available as a port, ports/sysutils/env4801/ .  Don't forget to read
led(4) man page:

Thanks to Soekris for a nice toy:

TODO: find a mini-pci wifi card and replace my dlink ap.

19.05.2016 update.

After 10 years of service the box is still working.  I upgraded the CF card
to 2GB and the whole system to FreeBSD 10.3-stable.

04.11.2020 update.

The box is 14 y/o and still running.  I recently upgraded it
to FreeBSD 12.2-stable.  My build host is amd64 so the build process
became more tricky.

It doesn't do much these days, it is just a small caching dns server.
I also run nginx on it.
