Nexus 7 connects via ethernet

Similar to my Toshiba thrive, the Nexus 7 also connects via usb to cat5 adapter.

Let N7 boot up and be fully awake, disable wifi, but not in airplane mode, connect usb/cat5 adapter (with micro usb adapter also.)

N7 will pull DHCP address that you can see in wifi settings, advanced.

Good trick for those of us in corp world, with no wifi.

Will try to post link with compatable wifi adapters from thriveforums, but may be against forum rules.

I use linksys usb300m and a micro usb adapter from ebay.
 
The USB300M is a great form factor; I just ordered one. Thanks for the tip.

If you don't mind, I'm going to link this thread in the USB OTG sticky.
