See if you can find pebble, it's getting old now unless it's been upgraded. it's small, based on Debian, designed for what you want and has modest hardware requirements. Even if to old, it can serve as a how-to for reingineering with newer software. Google for 'seattle wireless pebble" A linksys wrt54G is a cheap Linux computer, and fun can be had with that, replacing its software (there are several alternatives) and wondering whether you've bricked it yet. Google will help here too.
