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.
