I've done this is in the past. (2000-2002) and was part of a embedded Linux district team. Built a device and a product. Used to convert old PCs into gateways too.
Look up LEAF firewall. pFSense looks to be the best packaged version right now for firewall. You must look at a gateway package and then choose the platform. Eg one that supports firewall, proxy, AV, qos, 802.1x etc.... You'll find hardware with 5.to 8 Ethernet ports on a book PC from Taiwan or even bare metal networking boxes, as is the trend now from Dell, HP etc. You can write to me or talk to me if you want to discuss this further.
