Found what I think is the one I remember: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/PR2000/PR2000_DS_05Dec13.pdf
It has two ethernet ports, and allows you to do exactly what I was described. I've sort of switched gears though and decided to just grab two of the new hAP lite devices. I'll zip tie them together and add a small ethernet jumper. That will gain me what I want, plus 6 ethernet ports. Not as small and neat but I think I can live with it.
