"I will not trust a vital piece of network infrastructure to a floppy disk."

Remember, that the floppy disk is one of the most unreliable forms of 
magnetic media.  If you're going to do this, invest in a flash device.
You get a number of benefits - faster, MUCH longer life-span, and more
reliable, overall.  Oh yeah, and it's probably much bigger than 1.44M.

Or, just use a router.  A regular router.  Also remember - just because
you can pound in a nail using the handle of a screwdriver, that doesn't
make it the best tool for the job. :)
