I've been looking for a long time (as in years since I lack the know how to do it myself ) for a nice customizable router-esk board and just stumbled across this site. It looks like a fairly promising board, but I had a couple questions

1) Is it possible to access additional ethernet ports? I saw on the data sheet that it look like there are 5 physical ethernet ports, I'm guessing that the pitch on the chip itself is far to fine for me to just solder onto the applicable points, but I was hoping I could reassign some GPIO or perhaps there serial port pin to be additional ethernet I/O

2) Do y'all ship to the United States (or have a local distributor so I wouldn't have to pay import fees?)

3) How did y'all go about learning the skills to design what is, at it's core, a router?
