Sure wish they'd roll out something with two (possibly three) RJ-45's. Gig ethernet is nice here, but if they had multiple ethernet, they'd crack the SOHO firewall market WIDE open.

You may want to examine uquiti's low end edgerouter products. They run their own version of debian with some blob drivers for packet offloading, but you can add your own packages or even load a different distribution if you desire. Heck OpenBSD runs on it so presumably other BSDs do as well. .

I'm not seeing it on their website...and there are several multi-interface open source routers out there...but when I checked last, they were in the $200+ range...an rPI would have more than enough HP to handle the job...it just doesn't have a good multi-interface solution...it'd cost...what, $40?

Edgerouter X runs around $50, and the Edgerouter Lite is under $100 ($88 currently on Amazon). Both run Ubiquiti's fork of Vyatta/VyOS on top of Debian, on MIPS-based CPUs.
