Could try a USB 2.0 card and then a USB 2.0 network adapter?

not cleaver usb 2.0 adapter would slow your net down, and wont be as stable

But it probably is about the only way to do it so regardless of the flaws of USN-ethernet adapters I think it is probably the best way.

How old is the PC in question? Ethernet and USB has been included on PCs since PIII days at the very least and in some cases before.

y? Won't slow the net down as tranfser rate of usb2 is surely much greater than internet speeds? Edit: sorry - Im not paying attention - you want a network adapter not internet! ignore me!

The speed of usb 2.0 is greater than fast ethernet but there are other issues.

I've asked around a few friends btw, who recommended either:

D-Link DUB-E100
Netgear FA120
Linksys USB200M

Any of those 3 should suit your needs if you decide to go that route.
