Jeroen, as I'm doing my v6 on a router behind the bridge, I really
don't care about what feature as the bridge, beside bridging ;)
Roger, I'm quite fan of pcengines already, however they don't do the
interconnection with the incombent (isp) supporting *dsl interaction.
I'm really interested on the device at the front of it.

Heya people,
Currently maintaining many customers network offices with ADSLs
connections, generaly bridging the router on site and doing all my
routing on a *nix box.
In this design, I'm looking for some efficient, low price, reliable
hardware that would do only the bridge work.
The Netopia VDSL[1] thingies that Swisscom gives along with the VDSL
offer works like a charm over here. I just disabled the wireless on it
(as I could not manage it and hey, that is not the way to do it) and put
it into bridge mode and indeed have a Linux box behind it for IPv4 NAT
and IPv6 tunneling, nice clean 1480 path to the PoP ;)
Otherwise you might want to look at the new AVM 7570 box, that one can
even do IPv6 (with some quirks like no static routing yet but it does
work ;) even supports TIC+heartbeat.
For that matter, just cut down the list to everything that does support
IPv6 and skip the rest as that is then not a good investment.

I can recommend hardware from PC Engines [2] on where you can run different
operating systems on a CompactFlash card. There are also a few naked os
(Debian, CentOS) images or prepared router/firewall images linked on the site,
such as m0n0wall [3] or pfSense [4].
