Wow stupid stupid stupid...whats it cost to put ethernet on a board..like 50 cents?  There are a TON of people who have flaky wifi or out of range.  (Or jackasses like my neighbour who bcasts 56,000 fake networks as part of protecting his own.  He has a linux program that literally broadcasts 56000 fake networks.   People in the neighbourhood that dont know how to network are totally unable to figure it out.)

In any case, wifi is FAR from being the only networking standard for people.  I'd prefer rock solid 1000mbit over wifi any day.

He's broadcasting 56,000 fake Network SSID's but he's still only transmitting 1 Wi-Fi signal.    If he were actually broadcasting 56,000 signals, the FBI's cyber crimes unit would have already kicked his door down.

Well yes SSIDs however try figuring how to get to your own when you're new to networking.  I helped another neighbour who can't spell computer let alone effectively operate one in exchange for a case of beer.  It's funny as hell to see a never ending list of networks "IF you can see this you're too fucking stupid to network".
