Found what I think is the one I remember:

http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/PR2000/PR2000_DS_05Dec13.pdf

It has two ethernet ports, and allows you to do exactly what I was
described.

I've sort of switched gears though and decided to just grab two of the new
hAP lite devices.   I'll zip tie them together and add a small ethernet
jumper.  That will gain me what I want, plus 6 ethernet ports. Not as small
and neat but I think I can live with it.
