Recommendations for a dual NIC SBC or mini-pc

I have been testing LCNC on the pi with the nvme hat and PoE, until I realised that the integral RJ45 will be for the ethercat network and wont have PoE!! A bit of a misstep there. In a raspi environment the waveshare addon does complain about limited current availability and the shutdown of peripherals.

Less keen on the Rpi5 now because I realised it has integral wifi, my intention is for a product and adding wifi means I have to satify requirements of RED, so I even more so am interested in alternatives. The Odroid is looking more promising!

there are a few Intel N100 PC's put there with multi Intel NIC included. Some also have rs485 with terminal input. I would go with that in preference to the Odroid to get away from the realtek card.

aaeon (asus) has a dual nic pico itx motherboard with a celeron n150 that I have been looking at for linuxcnc/ethercat. It is I think $248 (plus ram and m.2 ssd). it also takes 12v power via terminal blocks so it seems like a good option at least on paper.
