There are plenty such boards, but they might need a driver so YMMV.

For better speed, I recommend you the netconsole implemented by ruik for
RTL8029AS. Such a card costs even less and is already supported by
coreboot.

Ruik has 20 or so and willing to ship them, but I think getting this card
will be cheaper and faster than shipping from Czech Republic.
Regards,
Cristi
