The new atmel avr32 network board looks good for the price - US$69
ATNGW100 AVR32 NETWORK GATEWAY

They have a promo selling them for US$69
and claim they are available but I can't find anyone who has any in stock
yet.

Digikey claims to be shipping them on the 13th of April
Nice to see that they provide avr32 studio for windows and linux
(eclipse based).
