Some small networked box with FreeBSD support?

Hello, Freebsd-embedded.

  I need small, cheap and silent box with one or two network ports
(ARM/MIPS, I think), like legendary ASUS WL500G and other
OpenWRT-supported boxes, but with FreeBSD "support".

  I'm using Soekris net5501 (x86) now and very happy with it, but it is
expensive and very-hard-to-buy in Russia, so I can not buy another one
as second such box.

  I don't need WiFi or ADSL in this box, but it will be a plus.

  Is here any known, SOHO-market, well-availiable sopaboxes, on which
FreeBSD could be installed, with wire network support?

I had good experiences using an GEODE driven 'WRAP 1.E-2' board from

   http://www.pcengines.ch/wrap.htm

but they EOL'ed and and where replaced by some more decent
ALIX boards:

https://shop.tronico.net/Embedded-Computer/ALIX-by-PC-Engines/Mainboards/

They are quite a bit cheaper than SOEKRIS - but no idea about
their shipment costs.

HTH,
Frank
