hello =)

I would like to ask if anyone knows a firewall/router distro that 
runs without a hard disk and has Wireshark or a comparable network 
sniffer (is there any?) already on board.

There are a few Live Distros that have Wireshark, e.g. 

BackTrack
FreeSBIE
Network security toolkit
OWASP live cd
Fedora Security LiveCD 
ADIOS live linux boot cd
Xfld
KCpentrix 
Sectoo Linux.

However, these are either specialized forensic/pen testing distros 
or full blown OSes and I don't know how good they are suited for 
firewall/gateway purposes.

Best wishes, Michael
