dreamplug, mikrotic routerboard, ubitquiti rbpro has 5 (one of which
is POE), openrd ultimate. or any other board with a spare USB port
and get a £5 xenta USB-to-Ethernet dongle.

all of those are gigabit ethernet.
for anything with the marvell processor WATCH OUT. upgrades to
debian/testing are a fucking nightmare due to udev being a complete
fuckup. make sure you upgrade the kernel to something more recent,
but DON'T waste your time doing kernel builds, just dowload them from
here instead:

personally, having been through the nightmare-that-is-marvell and not
liking the proprietary nature of mikrotik's OSes, i'd go for the
ubiquiti rspro, because it's very low cost and absolutely amazingly
good value.
and, because it's amazingly good value, there are people who've used
it as a reference platform for debwrt:

it's not arm-based, though - it's a MIPS processor. not debian-arm
then, but at least debian.
