I got this one:
http://trendnet.com/products/proddet...=280_TU2-ET100
It works "out of the box" (note my N900 setup in my signature, though). However:
a) on one network, I got the same "bogus packet" messages with udhcpc.
b) on another network, it works fine at first, but it seems that after a while the web browsers (microb and Opera) "forget" that they are connected, and never download the requested page; ping and wget from XTerminal still work. Also, turning on the online accounts in My Availability causes the N900 to connect to the default network (3G); this is even before the web browser problem sets in.
c) power consumption: the dongle runs pretty warm (though it can still be held) and will drain a full N900 battery in roughly an hour. The declared consumption is 178 mA.

After more usage and seeing a report about current draw here (though that was clearly for Trendnet's previous model), I decided to send it back.
I am instead getting this. Knock on wood.

I tried to get this working a few years ago, the need has past though though it would be nice to have the capacity when faced with a school or corporate network.
Post your how-to for N900 on the wiki page so others can try to replicate your success.

Ok, issue a) will hopefully be resolved with the new device. Note it has the same chipset as Trendnet's.
Issue b) was caused by the local network not having a DHCP server, so who knows where I was getting the DHCP packets from, and what was in them. I tried on a third LAN then, and it worked, except again I had issues a) and b).
Issue c) remains elusive. It seems here that Maemo applications dislike usb ethernet, so I am thinking of installing a dummy network as suggested there. Indeed, it seems like that would completely convince Maemo that I am connected to a network. Never done that, though. Tips, please?
@biketool, yeah, I don't really need need it, but there is a coolness/nerdiness factor involved. Also, once you do need it, it will be too late to try to make it work.

Update: I've received the Plugable USB 2.0 to Ethernet adapter. Note it has the same AX88772 chipset as the Trendnet adapter I had sent back.
The good news is that my N900 was able to recognize it and connect to the LAN. Also good is that it does not feel as hot as the Trendnet; note the Plugable has a larger plastic case.
Unfortunately, the battery again drains in an hour, even if the N900 is left alone. I am considering several options:
a) when not in use, disconnect the adapter from USB mode. However, this does not solve the problem of being unable to use the LAN for an hour at a time.
b) the chipset has a suspend mode. However, I do not know how to utilize it.
c) get a powered USB hub. Since we are connecting to the wall (RJ45) anyway, there is sure to be a wall socket nearby. Also, this has the additional advantage of powering other USB devices (mouse, keyboard). I'm not sure if it would allow for charging of the N900 as well ("USB host mode with charging" in USB mode). The disadvantage is that it's more cost and bulk.
Also good is that I got it to work so that Maemo applications (such as the web browser, HAM, online accounts) now believe they are connected and no longer try to connect to 3G. I installed a dummy/null network (here is the link again). Note that I installed the null (not dummy) network, because only the lib for the dummy is in the repository. Also, the Dummy Network did not show after installing the lib (and rebooting), so I had to use the gconftool command line. The connection manager now shows a Dummy Network. I can connect to Dummy Network before or after connecting to the LAN (with udchpc), as long as it's before any Maemo applications are run.

b) the chipset has a suspend mode. However, I do not know how to utilize it.
c) get a powered USB hub. Since we are connecting to the wall (RJ45) anyway, there is sure to be a wall socket nearby. Also, this has the additional advantage of powering other USB devices (mouse, keyboard). I'm not sure if it would allow for charging of the N900 as well ("USB host mode with charging" in USB mode). The disadvantage is that it's more cost and bulk.
Also good is that I got it to work so that Maemo applications (such as the web browser, HAM, online accounts) now believe they are connected and no longer try to connect to 3G. I installed a dummy/null network (here is the link again). Note that I installed the null (not dummy) network, because only the lib for the dummy is in the repository. Also, the Dummy Network did not show after installing the lib (and rebooting), so I had to use the gconftool command line. The connection manager now shows a Dummy Network. I can connect to Dummy Network before or after connecting to the LAN (with udchpc), as long as it's before any Maemo applications are run.
