    <div>I'd suggest keeping it simple to start
      with. Rather than getting involved with adding a PCIe bridge, how
      about a simple single chip dual-port wired gig-e device.  I'll
      confess I don't know the cost of a dual port chip here, but as
      long as it's less than the cost of two single port chips and a
      pci-e bridge then it's unlikely to be a problem.<br>
      <br>
      Personally I think a large part of the point is that something
      built around the Max <i>will</i> be significantly more powerful.
      Since it takes away all sorts of limitations of the cheap
      routers.  Whether that's enough to justify the cost is a
      subjective decision.<br>
      It's certainly enough for me - my current setup has an older
      Mini-ITX Atom board with a dual-port add-in NIC. The Max would
      allow me to remove lots of moving parts and save on power
      consumption.<div><div><br>
