Yet another one is Raspberry Pico,
Neither of these come standard with Ethernet, though I've seen option cards. In the
case of Pico, it seems possible to do 10 Mb/s Ethernet in software using its PIO
controller, though I haven't made the attempt.
For an extra $1 now you can get integrated WiFi (and Bluetooth but
there isn't any BT software support yet) in the form of the $5 Pi
Pico W, so that's one route to talking to an IP network for IoT or
something like this.
A neat thing about the Pico is that you can do hard real-time
interface protocols using its PIO (Programmable I/O) channels and DMA
and still implement the whole thing in MicroPython.
