I admit that the lack of Ethernet surprised me, too. If it's any consolation, I know that the Cambridge team fought for it. I don't know why the final decision was made to axe it, perhaps Hugo can shed some light on that.

In any case, a $30.00 adapter solved the ethernet problem for me. I know, I know, why spend over a grand on something just so you can go out and spend another $30.00 on a stinking adapter... I don't have an answer for that one. All I know is that it works for me.
