Chris, Do you mean this https://www.google.com.br/url?q=http://store.mectronica.it/kit-sviluppo-embedded-iot-e/333-kit-router-banana-pi-dual-core-1ghz-5x-ethernet-wifi-microsd-card-8gb-with-os-4016138945546.html&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwikwvG95v7OAhXKFpAKHVqOAs8QFggNMAE&usg=AFQjCNE3dPr7xgxSAw3K5nlc7EUXgyg-lQ ? Looks like a switch there. If I can find an arm board that can run FreeBSD and has at least 3 Ethernet nic's, that would be a real winner.
