USB Ethernet adapter

[Andreas Hucks]

Hi all,

we are currently looking to buy a small box as a router/firewall/VPN 
gateway for our small office (4 computers). We have been looking into 
miniITX solutions, but the new Mac Mini seems to be the best option for 
speed, price, and size. It only lacks a second ethernet port

I'm not new to Linux, but have only used it on x86 systems. I also have 
never any USB devices under Linux. So I have a few questions:

- Does anybody know of an USB to ethernet adapter that works under 
Linux? I couldn't find one so far from reading tech specs.
- If there is one, will any adapter work as long as it says "Linux 
compatible" or are there special requirements for YellowDog?

Any other comments why this might be a good or a bad idea are of course 
welcome as well.

Thanks,
Andreas
