Does anyone have any experience with a non-Apple USB to ethernet adapter on the Macbook Air? They be found on eBay for as little as 3 bucks, and I wonder if it'll be plug-and-play like the OEM adapter, which is $29.
Got a tip for us?

There was a thread a while back about this. The answer is .. it depends 
If the device you choose happens to be one of the OSX supported chips, you win. Otherwise, you lose. While I did opt to not buy the Apple-branded video adapters, I did go ahead and buy the Apple USB to ethernet adapter to avoid too much fiddling.
