I hereby offer my apologies, since I stated that you didn't (I  
couldn't find RP-TNC two hole panel mount to u.fl or MMCX to 2-hole  
panel mount on your site.)

I don't think Soekris ever offered an indoor case that would fit N  
type, but there were some early cases with 4-hole panel mounts.   I  
know some folks have fit
N Type connectors into the Soekris case though.

That said, the 45214526 case drawings http://www.soekris.com/Manuals/ 
net4521_box.pdf http://www.soekris.com/Manuals/net4526_box.pdf show  
holes that
could be for N bulkhead connectors.
