directly connected to a wireless router. Their might be a router out
there somewhere that can do this but I haven't heard of it. I believe
that 50% of the reasoning behind going to a USB interface instead
of Ethernet was to discourage broadband sharing. The other 50%
is probably because not all motherboards have Ethernet built-in
but do have USB.
If you have an extra computer with both Ethernet and USB you can
set it up to become a router. It can route the internet from the USB
DSL modem through the Ethernet port and then to your wireless
access point / router.
