One easy solution is to get a Beagleboard and add Ethernet and/or 
wireless via USB dongles. I think it is the cheapest solution.

you would need some thing like this:

Note, however, that it is more expensive then a beagle board by an order 
of a magnitude. Also, there is naturally hardly any material about this 
specific board as opposed to the beagle. Much of the beagle material 
applies here as well, but obviously not the parts about the peripherals 
that are not included in the beagle.



Good luck,
