[OSX-Users] Re: New MacBook Pros and Thunderbolt update 1.2

Or use daisy-chaining on the display - plug the gig ethernet adaptor into the display, and use the displays TB port to connect.

Doesn't work if your display is DisplayPort though (like mine). Also the fact that the power and TB ports are on opposite side of the Air is a right pain when using them with the old DisplayPort monitors.

100 meg ethernet over USB is probably fast enough anyway, unless you're attaching to an iSCSI device or something.
