Hi,
I bought TP-Link TL-WR1043ND (330nis) that has a usb port and a
support for OpenWRT.
Because OpenWRT is fairly resonable linux distro for small devices, it
is possible to configure your netstick as the wan interface.

If there is a packaged system that one just installs and it works, that would be ok, but I simply don't have time to build and test a system from scratch.
