Looks like the <a href='http://gumstix.com/'>Gumstix</a> stuff just got a whole lot more interesting.  They're releasing a series of expansion boards called the <a href='http://www.gumstix.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=netstix'>Netstix</a>, which do pretty much what you'd expect; they're Ethernet 10/100 interfaces, combined with other useful things like another <acronym title='Network Interface Card'>NIC</acronym> (hello <a href='http://gumstix.com/'>Gumstix</a> firewall), Compact Flash, and MMC (eg SD without the <acronym title='Digital Rights Management'>DRM</acronym> crud).
