Hi bulek,
I'm using a usb  dongle on external net with no problems so far,
" moschip semiconductor" usb-mac controller,
sorry, link I had no longer works,but it was advertised as being linux compat. For me it was plug and play


regards,
Ian

Hello,

I have a Trendnet, $15 USB 10/100 adapter that I use on occasion. It was cheap, and LMCE uses it plug and play.
