sure, we are making incredible progress on using the internet tablet as a usb host to eventually use ethernet, but some of us are too lazy....no worries, xPAKxMaster to the rescue!

some months ago linksys developed what we call the travel router, a simple device that converts any ethernet connection into wireless just by pluging it in(only one cable needed)

this is of course the LINKSYS WTR54GS wich is available at newegg(cheapest i found, even cheaper than ebay!)

here's the link www.newegg.com

have fun.
Wow, you have just discovered a wireless router. Congratulations, that is kinda like that guy who discovered America after Columbus...you know.....ok so I don't remember his name either. There are tons of access points better suited for travel use. They are usually even given the oh so clever name of travel routers. I like the DWL-G730AP which is smaller than a pack of cards and can be powered via usb or wallwart, comes with a little carrying case and can operate as a bridging AP, router or ethernet client bridge.
