These work GREAT!

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.

Pete,
RPI works just fine with USB to Ethernet adapters. You can add multiple Ethernet connections in this way.

I have a question about using a RPI for net44.
Since this device only have one physical Ethernet port (and a Wi-Fi NIC).
By which way are you hoping to use those to route some traffic?
Entering by Wi-Fi then out from the Ethernet port? That can work, but I would not like that.

While I agree that it is attractive to use a Raspberry Pi because of its
availability
and the capability to also host some applications on the same device
aside from
doing the routing, in my experience it is much easier to use a dedicated
router
like the MikroTik hEX (RB750Gr3) available for about the same price, but
having
5 ethernet ports and all software required for VPN and routing
pre-installed and
much easier to configure and maintain than a Raspberry Pi.
Of course there always are multiple options. And Raspberry Pi should be
one of them.
The network setup must be as standard as possible, so that it can be implemented on a large amount of equipment :
- People building networks, remote sites, repeaters, or advanced users
with some network knowledge, may prefer a dedicated router platform, such as Mikrotik, UBNT, OpenWRT, etc...
- Beginners or standalone users may prefer plug-and-play setup on a
Raspberry Pi. The most obvious example that comes to my mind is Pi-Star (a very good Pi appliance for digital modes hotspot or repeater, which embeds many existing software for D-Star, DMR, YSF etc... into a coherent and easy to use WEB UI).
