I think this was already discussed recently on this list.  I own my own,
but at my parents' house it works perfectly with both a FreeBSD NAT box
and a D-Link "router."  Performance is unchanged and seems to be up to par
with the RCA modem I've been using for a while.  The Motorola has both a
USB and ethernet connection, and upgrading should consist of swapping it
in and perhaps rebooting or restarting the network interface.
