I think you need to buy an additional Ethernet-to-USB adapter.
Would be nice if such an adapter were part of a housing, but I realise there's limited resources for the housings already on offer. Thoughts for the future, I suppose :)
yeahyeah. LAN9512 on-board, so you don't lose the number of USB ports. the BOM in volume of the micro-desktop is going to be around $6-7. a variant with a USB-ETH on-board would be around $2 more and the casework would have to be slightly larger... big redesign, different product basically.
That's going to be hard-wired to a USB hub, I presume?
Would it not be better to provide one or two internal USB sockets, into which one could put an Ethernet USB-stick if that's what one wanted, but would also allow one to alternatively add a wifi stick, or bluetooth, or say a chaos-key: http://altusmetrum.org/ChaosKey/
