Adsl/Ether-USB/Router modification candidate?

Anyone has a tip on any Adsl modem, Home-Router, USB-Ethernet adapter, etc..
That has an cpu that is easy to hook up additional bus hardware to..?

(For ethernet -> synchronious I/O speed of approx 1.5 Mbps like I2S etc..)

I'm also esp curious on those usb<->ethernet adapters some small as thumb. Do
they contain any form of cpu+flash that is possible to reprogram .. ?

I had the idea to:
a) Solder comms chip to existing adsl/router/etc..
b) Reprogram usb-ethernet dongle to controll comms dongle from an
ethernet
dongle.

I'm not quite following what you want to do? Since existing ADSL
modems/routers will already have Ethernet ports on them that you could use
directly to control the thing?

Well there are two ways to do it. Attach usb dongle with i2s to a usb<->eth
that acts as a device controller. Or..
Solder chip with i2s port into a adsl/router device.

You can check out the Airborne systems at www.dpactech.com. They are

wifi to serial devices with a lot of programmable smarts in them!

Many of the wireless routers are miniature Linux boxes and you could at
least find a lot of information about how to add additional I/O. The
Netgear WRT54G is quite popular, very hackable, and cheap (all of $70 at
Wal*Mart!).

Those WLan controllers are nice. And the ethernet + pcmcia slot _really_ gives
a lot of oppertunities. But I look for something that hopefully will provide
some Adress/Data/R-W signal so I can simple solder an additional chip right
on the pcb board.

WRT56G has a serial port (once you solder it up)

I2S capable?
