Dan, Maybe the plastics are too far along, but maybe you can add the Ethernet port still and it’ll just be trapped inside the machine? I can cut a hole in the case if need be, that’s how badly I want and prefer Ethernet.
Although its in a different context I think it applies to the Ethernet port too. It has been known for quite some time that it will not have one. It would be great if it did but its not going to change. There are many solutions to get by this. Including using an Airport Express or something like that. Solutions have been discussed throughout this form.
