And we all know how easy it is to buy an ARM board, install Linux and add all the ethernet ports one desires.

We do?

    I reckon it's via an USB-Ethernet adapter.

    If you use USB Hubs you could theoretically add as many as you want on a single USB port if you daisy chain the Hubs (if it's a really large number some of the Hubs must have external power).

    Granted, performance is limited.

    Never tried it, though, so maybe there are further limitations.
