Did you read the beginning of the Chistopher's mail ? He has an iBook, 
so he never will be able to plug a PCI card inside of it.

Look, I don't want to be seen as a crude person on the list, but I 
think that most of the comments here in your reply had nothing to do 
with his question, and neither will help him to find a solution for his 
main problem.

I just did a google to find an USB to Ethernet adaptor, here's what I 
found:

And in the jaton.com web site I found this:

I think that maybe another way is to get wireless, check on this link:

Or even airport card/base...

Christopher, I hope this helps...
