ARDC has $, build a custom carrier for a CM4 that has 2 Ethernet ports, a
USB hub, a couple of serial ports et, sell it to Hams below cost, problem
goes away. There are all kids of options, and there is no one size fits
all. the point here is to come up with "easy ways" to get on the net.
Cheap, Easy, Performant pick 2.

Use the native 1GbE port on an RPi4B or Rock64 with VLANs and this makes a
very competent router that is rock-solid.

Thanks for the suggestion Steve.
The use of Vlan and a managed switch seem like a good idea.
But you need to remember 2 thing in the solution that need to be
deployed here.
Not every switch is managable, most that are will
cost more than the
RPI, lambda ham does not even know what a Vlan is. And using a
cheap
repurposed 10/100 switch will provide a maximum 50 Mb/s at max as it will
be used twice for each inbound/outbound packets. But it will be a more
stable solution than USB Ethernet NIC.
We need to supply a simple and stable solution for the average ham that
start in
networking and easy to support. useage of Vlan wont cut it. USB
ethernet nic will be the same. Yes the RPI 4 will do it. But you have to
remember that most ham's that have a RPI 2 or even a RPI B will want to use
his board to experiement. If we do this we will loose the interest of many
by offerring networks that will be slow compared to what they are use to.
And if by bad luck we fall on the geek of the place that the other ham look
upon to use a specific tehnology or not, the 44net wont be used in large
chunk of the globe. This aint our goal.

USB adapter or the use of VLAN tags and a managed switch.
