hello

I have been unable to find a sure answer to this and I need it before buying a new MBair .

May be one of you has done it.

Could I connect the Apple USB/Ethernet adapter of the macbook air 1.86 leopard 10.5.6 via a usb hub ? via the hub on the keyboard ? via the hub of the new 24" led display ?

    If you wanted to connect more than 2 devices, get a POWERED hub, not a passive one.

    It will work with a powered USB hub. Don't know about a passive hub, keyboard or the 24" display.

    Hey. That looks pretty good with integrated wired Ethernet!. Saves you one device and potentially on passive mode, it can still connect 2 devices with no problems (non disk devices, that is).



    I used an aluminium cooling base with integrated hub that can be powered also. But unpowered on my hub, it will take 2 USB flash sticks and my wireless USB mouse. Rather portable.
