This is the same as the wifi to ethernet bridge that other posters referred to, right??

Thanks!

Greetings,
I know that the great thing about N800's is WiFi but at work, I can't use WiFi, just ethernet connection...so that's really important to me to have that option if I want....

This is quite a group!
Just to be clear about what I meant about my work situation....
I have internet access at work via ethernet connection. We do not have a wifi network in my office. Hence my question regarding ethernet connections...
However, I didn't think of using either a USB to Ethernet adaptor or a WiFi to Ethernet device....seems like either one could work....hopefully....

Mark,
Out of curiosity, how does the N800 compare to the Zaurus 3200? There is not too many people that have experience with both. I was thinking of getting a 3200 when I go to Japan next month.

Mark,

As noted in my original post, I'm just contemplating one as an idea at this point...and realized that I needed to know if I'd be able to connect to internet at work if I want as this would help determine whether I'd look into a N800 further....
As for 3200, I think they're great lil' units...beautiful crisp, clear display and keyboard is much better than you'd would guess it would be...if they had built-in wifi and ethernet port they'd be perfect....but it's OK using my CF wifi and ethernet cards...
FWIW, I've reflashed my ROM with various distros available. Currently, quite happy with a pdaXrom variant called pdaXii13.....very good user community over at OESF.org/forums....they even have a small Nokia section there too...
But not as large or active as this one...mainly focused on Zaurii....
HTH,
Mark

I think I get what you're saying, Richard....
use a USB LAN adapter????
Note that a device can only be one type of device at a time; hence the rmmod f g_file_storage before insmoding g_ether.
