The BeagleBoard-X15 has 2 nics but you will be paying for a lot more than you need. On the other hand you'll have a very versatile toy to play with.

This seems to be exactly what I need. Unfortunately there's no information on how or where to purchase such a board.

Hmm..They were supposed to be released by now but I've just read the first design failed FCC. They're shipping 150 of RevA2 very soon to one distributor(possibly RS to fill backorders). Looks like it's going to be another month or so before RevB hits the shelves.
Best bet is to preorder it from RS. If it's anything like when the BeagleBone Black came out, the first 6 months supply will be sold before it's even made.

"La brique Internet" project use this hardware to make a VPN / self-hosting solution.

Additionnal network interface : wifi USB dongle driven by atheros module, or USB to ethernet adapter, are available from the store. And last but not least : Olimex stuff is open source hardware and industry grade.
Happy A10 user here. I have two of such boards, both running Slackwarearm-14.1 (many thanks to drmozes for the great job). I completely agree about how easy it is to add an USB-Ethernet adapter, because they are well supported by Linux and the performances aren't any bad. And the SATA port is a good feature (one of my boards is my home file server and local Slackware mirror).
