Sorry to nitpick, but you don't necessarily need two Ethernets on any device. You can work it just fine with a computer with a single Ethernet card and IP aliases. Create two logical networks on the machine, one for the WAN side and another for the LAN side, and they will happily co-exist on the same physical Ethernet network and interface. Of course, you will need a small switch or a hub (do those even exist anymore?) to be able to interconnect everything.
