Ahh, Paul Lustgarten tells me in private mail that the ORiNOCO
AP1000 LAN gateway matches the description I gave above; Paul's
note follows (reprinted with permission).  Thanks, Paul!

There are three key ORiNOCO products, AFAIK:

        - RG1000        Residential Gateway, one slot, *external* LAN
        - AP1000        LAN gateway, two slots & one local LAN
        - AP500         LAN gateway, one slot & one local LAN

The RG1000 is aimed at having *no* local wiring, and thus provides all
the gateway capabilities one might want at the *edge* of a home or small
business LAN - as long as the local LAN is entirely wireless.  I'm using
the AP-1000, with a separate Linksys Etherswitch for my gateway to the
outside world.  My LAN has a mix of wired and wireless segments.
