I'm trying to force boxA to connect to boxB on the same subnet via a
linux box configured as a gateway (but with only one NIC), yet again on
the same sub-net. I eventually want to do some traffic shaping by using
tc and tc-tbf.

Routing on the sub-net level is performed by the arp table in whatever
device the machines are connected to (hub, router, etc). You either need
to manualy control the arp tables (sounds like a nightmare to me) or
install a proxy server on the gateway box and set the other machine to use
it as a proxy.
