Does anyone know of a USB-Ethernet adapter that works with the N800 ? I was just getting ready to order one (mostly for traveling) but remembered that most of the hotels I use only offer wired ethernet, not wifi. That would be a show-stopper for me.

Thanks in advance for any assistance...

I was under the impression that the n800 hasn't gotten stable usb support yet, but another option might be getting a small travel router (I got a free fonera from fon, its pretty tiny) which you could plug into the ethernet, and then have wifi all around your room.

(btw, although the fonera is locked, there are ways around it though fon might not like it, google's your friend)

There's another thread describing what can be done via usb right now (the functionality for networking IS there), but I forget where it is offhand.

And if a hotel only offers wired, just carry your own mini router.

Thanks Pusher.jr & Texrat..

Just finished some more searching on the forums and reading those related threads.

Looks like my best options at this point is a mini-WAP such as the Asus wl-330g or the linksys one. Well it's off to research those now.

Thanks again for your help...
