[olpc-help] connecting to Ethernet instead of going wireless

[Larry J. Maltin]

No, no, no; quite clearly my question was misunderstood. I will purchase 
for myself the necessary cable, that goes from Ethernet to USB. I only 
want to know whether I can simply plug into the hotel's Ethernet and 
into the Lappie with a USB. I would like to know this before I went to 
the trouble of locating and purchasing the connector. And, yes I am 
fully aware that the project's target... . This is NOT a complaint, but 
merely a question. I think what you guys and gals are doing is beyond 
laudable.
