Hi Phil

Sorry did not make clear.. We wanted a ethernet to ethernet 
connection..  I found a MacSense AeroPad Mini 802.11g Ethernet Adapter 
for Mac/PC with connects via ethernet, but powers the adapter through 
the  USB port.. I would have preferred a separate power source. Viewing 
the link on USB that could be a possible choice. Is there any 
difference in performance between USB and ethernet.
