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).

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. ---
