That's a shame because the Mac Air would make a good device for use in the field. The Unix underlying operating to start is fantastic, having alight weight device like that to zip in and out of the colo with.. would be great.
You could use USB ethernet but that seems silly since I'm not certain you could get the line rate. I forget the throughput of usb2.0 but that could be an issue. I guess the idea is for field work it's best to stick to Intel hardware with linux installed or windows if you must. That or lug around an MBP which is what I do now.
