Number of devices bothers me more than the cost... I'd rather not have a
cluster of devices taking up space and adding points of failure and
hassles.

Its going to be easier to run shorewall on the Linux server and just
have all the traffic go in and out from it via the Netgear. This way I
treat the netgear as a combined dumb switch, ADSL modem, and wireless
AP.
