That's fast ethernet only.
I've just purchased a mini-itx, supposedly-15W system from China. 6
"ethernet cards". ~$200 sans-disks.

This is to replace my ailing Fit-PC which has served well for a decade,
but looks to be unsupported by the next Debian. I'm hoping to replace a
managed 24-port gigabit ethernet switch with this and a 5W 8-port gigabit
switch, resulting in lower overall power consumption (and a *much* simpler
setup!)
I'll let people know how it goes.
