Interesting, never thought of that. I see some with Linux/ Win compatibility. I wonder though, would there be a degradation of speed with USB2 as that's the fastest this old laptop has? |

Both the USB and the Ethernet (10baseT, 100baseT, or 1000baseT) are bottlenecks, but the interfaces are compatible and USB2 is faster than some, slower than other, Ethernet networks. My TiVO is happy with its USB/Ethernet adaptor, and that might not even be USB2 (it is a Linux box). |
