Hi
My boss has asked me to find him all the necessary components to use his 2012 MacBook air with a new Thunderbolt Display as well as an external keyboard, mouse, and ethernet. Here is what I am thinking, will this work?

  • Connect MacBook Air Thunderbolt port to Thunderbolt port on the 27" Display
  • Connect keyboard and mouse via Bluetooth to MacBook Air
  • Connect Ethernet to port on 27" Display

Only thing I'm not too sure about is that last part, does the MacBook receive ethernet connectivity through the monitor?

Thanks
