Having a wired connection could help you disable WIFI when not necessary and enjoy a wired network connection if you suspect that WIFI electromagnetic fields have bad effects on health.

Also, so long as you switch on the “3G adapter” port in settings, it works connected to the USB port!
i can’ find the chip usb ethernet adapter
can you show me some name usb adapter ethert to connect lan
This is a nice feature to be able to use.. but aren’t all next gen tablets (android 3.2+) going to have the same USB capability? Meaning, this is not just specific to the Archos g9 tablets.. I’m sure you can find that the newest Samsung, Motorola or other dual core tablets have the same capability…
Offering this feature is technically possible for any tablet with an USB port.
I just acknowledge that Archos did pretty good to implement it on their devices, with a broad range of USB ethernet device support.
Let’s hope that other manufacturers will follow…
Cool, is this feature just for the gen 9 tablets or can this works on the gen 8′s ?
So far it’s only on G9 latest firmware, but they may also implement it on G8, wait and see…
