I can't speak for Staples specifically, but I recently bought a laptop without RJ-45 on-board and successfully used both an old Netgear FA120 and an Apple USB-RJ45 without any problems. The only thing to note (if not mentioned elsewhere already) is that most of the USB dongles only support 100MB speeds for data transfer. If you need speeds exceeding that, you may run into compatibility issues with Linux and likely pay a premium for that feature. dafr _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
