It is about time they did this - Even if your machine does now have an RJ45 connection by default - you can get they for £10 these days..

The number of times that we have had threads on this forum where the solution is "dump USB and use Ethernet" is a good indication of how many problems this causes.

Perhaps this will allow the support people to focus a little more on ongoing isssues rather than new installations where USB does not work...
