USB Ethernet adapter

[Daniel Gimpelevich]

You should take a look at:

Although that is a different Linux, and neither x86 nor PowerPC, it's a
concise list of USB to Ethernet adapters absolutely proven to work under
Linux. For YDL, the question is whether the chipset in the particular
adapter you choose was chosen by TerraSoft Solutions to be in the stock
kernel. If not, you will need to add it yourself. I'm sure there are other
adapters that will do the job, but that list is where you should start
your research. You will most likely want one of the USB 2.0 adapters on
the list, so check the specifications of each on the adapter
manufacturer's website for USB 2.0 support.
