Well first of all, with kernel level autoconfiguration and DHCP it does
connect to networks (I've succesfully done an X-Terminal that way). With
a relatively simple shell script you could run fsck regularly. How about
doing it on shutdown?

Well getting the dvb&lirc modules into kernel will be a problem, but you
can still simply use an insmod.
For access you can run the original runvdr script in the background and
start a simple shell.
