Google will give you your answers... the answers are basically the
same. There's still only the one device as we mentioned previously
with 4 ports.
If you are refering to:
http://openblocks.plathome.com/products/ax3/
$740 is beyond my budget.
the mirabox is also a bit pricy:

But then probably most stuff like this will be more than $50 :)
And your search foo vastly exceeds mine. All I find is:

Can I stack a few of these together?
Or:

Can I hack this to put Fedora on it? Actually, I will be seeing a
number of Marvel people at IEEE 802 meeting in a month. I should see if
they can get me some raw hardware to play with :)
I am going to ask around on the cubieboard forums to see if anyone there
might know how to build on ethernet.
