Try www.dealextreme.com

They have free shipping (although order and shipping takes 3 weeks 
total) and their prices are phenomenally low.

No, you need something like this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812150048

and you can find them basically anywhere. I've accrued about 7+ over the 
years, from digital cameras, hubs, cell phones, etc, etc. Even the FR 
came with one.

 Hello list,

 A few days ago, I was chatting with DocScrutinizer in #openmoko on 
 FreeNode about using a USB → Ethernet adapter to connect my FreeRunner 
 directly to my Ethernet LAN.  DocScrutinizer told me I need a 
 miniUSB-m → USB-A-f adapter or a cable like this:

 http://www.conrad.de/goto.php?artikel=971535

 Where can I buy such an adapter or cable in Canada?  I live in the 
 Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada.  I already checked some 
 local computer stores (NCIX, A-Power) and a distributor (ACP 
 Marketing), but none appear to have what I need.  I know there is at 
 least one other list member who lives in the Lower Mainland, and there 
 must be other Canadian members even if they live elsewhere in Canada.

 Thanks,
 Brolin

What your friend ment to say is:

you need a usb-mini (Male:=Standard) to Usb-Type A(this is the big flat
one)-FEMALE (same as in your usb-hub) Adapter.
So you can plug  any Device with its standard cable.

There are other solutions, for example a USB-Mini to USB-Type B and an
Hub with that Tyoe B.
