Ethernet is much more ubiquitous and standardized than is USB. So, if you suspect you will have problems with ethernet, what makes you think that you won't have problems with USB? Personally, I have never installed an ethernet card (standard PCI type) in any computer with Linux and had problems getting it working under Linux. That is not so true for ethernet built into the motherboard, but for a standalone PCI card, I have never had ANY problems right off the stick. USB is quite another story but to each his own. -- Bryan Phinney
