[ale] Switch for monitoring via SNMP

[Alex Carver]

No, I already have a router for my regular computers but the things like 
the streaming devices bypass that and go straight to the modem where 
they get NATed by the modem itself instead of me handling it.

I just want to be able to see all the traffic the modem passes through.

Plus I ditched OpenWRT ages ago. :)
