As long as we keep the boxes and the spaghetti of cables and the 'support' in house, no one is going to develop the "MAC" of the networking. Oh I don't know. I think a house network made up of a network connection (DSL, cable, satellite, fixed wireless, whatever) to something like 802.11 can do a reasonable job of getting rid of the cables. Keep your wired things like firewall, printer, scanner, network attached storage grouped with the network modem or maybe use a form of Bluetooth for them that doesn't interfere with 802.11 - then most of the remaining wires are power cords (and the peripheral cabling at the modem location). You don't need a computer at the modem location - just an Ethernet/802.11 interface like Apple's Airport.
