[Klug-general] 4 port network card

[Dan Attwood]

The thinking was If it was going in a firewall then it would need to be in a
small , quite box as the router is currently behind the sofa in my living
room.
I might also be looking at one for work, in which case is would need to go
in a cheap rack mount chassis and so a bunch of pci cards is pretty much out
of the question in both cases - although I can get away  with two cards in
the home system.
