From the description I gather that the network cable plugs into the Yoggie. So i'ts probably a hardened Linux firewall and virusscanner rolled into one. Maybe even with added goodies.

From the full article it looks pretty impressive. Network cable passthrough would make sense (though I don't see a jack on the picture) - plug cable from normal nic to Yoggie then from Yoggie to lan. But that wouldn't work with wireless...

It would if the routing tables were rewritten to go through the Yoggie first, then to the wireless interface. I.e, route all traffic through the Yoggie and let it forward to the appropriate interface.

So, someone have $200 to drop to test one out? :P
