The SB52G2 has 1 10/100mb and 1 gb nic, what more do you want :-).
The others have space for an extra pci-card, so you can add another nic
for whatever connection you would like: isdn or analog modem, network
card.
It has onboard usb, so if you have an usb-adsl / cable modem you don't
need the extra lan-port.

We have one running for more than half a year now without any
problems/reboots!
