- Ethernet Shield V1.0 for Arduino Arduino Etherenet Shield with ENC28J60 SPI [] - £12.99 : nuelectronics.com, new idea, new project, new electronics - Another ethernet shield for an Arduino. Cheaper than the XPort based one, but not as powerful out of the box. Am currently working on an improved TCP stack for it.

Have you considered using a normal ethernet shield, plus a wifi adapter, like the DLink DGL-3420? It’s still fairly expensive I suppose, and not as compact, but will do the job for less. I expect if you really want to make it smaller, you could take it out of the box too.
