Since then, things seem to have evolved. There are too many posts in this thread to read each one of yours to see what is currently the problem, and you have just chosen to rant in this post rather than explaining (again, if necessary) exactly what the current sticking point is. If it's user-installed non-free firmware for network interfaces, that is the state of manufacturing today: we're back to Winmodems and you're stuck with it. I have one of the last netbooks to come with an Ethernet port. A USB-Ethernet widget is quite useful to have around these days. -- Joe
