	In order to do use a USB ethernet adaptor, you'll need to make sure that you have [~~http://wiki.maemo.org/USB_host_mode~~ USB host mode] up and working properly (with an OTG cable or a software switch). OS2008 natively supports USB adapters based upon the RTL8150 chipset such as the [http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/sc/7767395-2-200-0.gif Linksys USB100M]; however it's possible to find other devices that are supported by custom compiled modules.
