I just googled 'apple ethernet' and got the UK apple store page for their USB ethernet adaptor[1].

It costs £25 (US$42, so this isn't some cheap junk), and of the twelve reviews, six give it one star and two give it two stars.

The point of using ethernet in preference to wifi is to get the dependability of battle-tested 30 year old technology; and using an ethernet dongle deprives you of that.

The new Thunderbolt version which works like a native port at full gigabit speed.


The USB 3.0 ethernet adapters are also quite good if you're not running OS X (and thus don't have thunderbolt support).
