Will this adapter enable an ethernet connection via an ethernet-to-usb adapter?

I was one of the original 10 to order one of these USB OTG dongles and still have not received it (shipped to US).
Just wandering, for those of you who have received it, does it work well?

Theoretically yes, I'm actually going to be testing this one tonight. I believe there are a few extra steps in software that you have to do to make things work though; I'll post up with details and results when I get it figured out.

Mine arrived yesterday, thank you jolouis; so far it works very well indeed for my little dreamGEAR mini key keyboard.

brashley46, glad to hear that it made it there safe and sound and is working well!
As for the networking, yea there's lots of information saying it's possible, but the problem I've run into is that all of the existing "tested working" adapters are the USB 1.1 versions... most of which are discontinued or difficult to find. I tried a Linksys 200M last night but found that it was asking for more power than the tablet was willing to send; when I get some more time I'll give it a go with a powered hub to see if that takes care of it.
Thanks,
-Rob

Just to let you know, I got mine yesterday and use it to transfer photos from my Fuji camera. Works great. Thanks Jolouis.

Got the two i ordered, and i'd suggest to anyone to go find another solution. This is a external mod, and a poor one, the USB connector on both look like its been run over by a semi trailer, and theres excess solder inside the connectors. It works, but no way in hell im using those unless its an emergency. Itll most likely kill your USB port after extended use, as its a very poor fit due to the connectors being as battered as they are. Fortunately i have a cable i made myself, with internal connection between pin 4 and 5 instead of destroying the connector. So to anyone who are thinking of ordering this, i'd seriousely consider making my own cable
EDIT: I just did.
