You can get 2 port pci riser cards for via boards and there are a few dual ether VIA's out there but never used them myself.

I *knew* there was something I was forgetting... :) Right now, most of them are running StarOS, but I'd like to still be flexible. (I have a few of these boards as CPE, mainly running RouterOS.) The WAR boards, and the Routerboard 500s, both look very good for their specific jobs, but you're more-or-less tied to a certain software distribution there (i.e. you can't run RouterOS on a WAR, StarOS on a RB500, etc.). Hey, one of these days I might get a wild notion to just install a 2GB flash card and Slackware at a tower location. You never know. Thus, my magical ideal board should probably be x86-compatible too. I've been looking at the VIA boards. The only problem is that most of them only have one onboard Ethernet port, and only one PCI slot. So I could have my multiple Ethernet ports, OR my miniPCI adapter, but not both.
