As per other comments yes, one Ethernet port. I have a USB ethernet
(little Edimax job) and use mine as a VERY basic router that runs
openvpn to my cloudy 'droplet' to give me an IP address 'somewhere else'
so I can use my satellite box to get ondemand/catch up TV stuff etc
etc.... :-)

Think I run dnsmaq and that's about it. The cloudy thing runs openvpn,
dnsmaq, tinydns and squid to make it a little caching router so have no
need on the Pi.

I think I installed a stripped down version of Raspbian Wheezy I found
to avoid all the 'd' nonsense.

Only for Pi v1 a the moment.

It isn't that fast as it is limited by the USB and my internet
connection, but I don't need it to be. And it works. Make a disk image
of the card once up and running, and when one burns out write a new one,
plug in and go....

Great little tool.
