Yes, I'm using a cheap ($30.00) Linksys USB10T ethernet converter to hook my HSX-109 to the network. Works like a charm.

Hugo did push for ethernet on the motherboard, but when you work for a big company, you do what they tell you to do. I forget why they decided against built-in ethernet, but I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.
