The closest thing we have in stock would be a $32 USB-to-USB network
adapter. I see this as having several drawbacks: I don't know if they
work in Linux, and we have 5-port Ethernet switches for $2 more.
Is there a compelling reason not to buy another switch instead, given we
know that works and the price difference is near-epsilon?
