It is quite easy to do with the WL-500g WiFi access point, which has the
advantage of
a) being compatible with standard systems (e.g. DD-WRT GNU/Linux)
b) having an USB port you can plug the Swisscom Unlimited dongle
inside (the one which pretends to be a CD-ROM, uh, a tty)
I think it costs about 120.-. I have done it, and it works (routing the
Swisscom Unlimited net to the internal switch, not the WiFi, in my case)
PS: the discussion on OSS gets annoying. Use whatever tool you find
appropriate, as long as you can fix it when required.
