Not sure I would consider it pathological to not have Ethernet as a
likely option. Almost every small processor today has serial ports built
in, and most of the ones that don't can fake it with bit banging pretty
easy. You need a processor with much more significant resources before
you get an Ethernet port on the processor, and then you need the
resources for the Ethernet stack.
