Do I need the Ethernet Adapter to connect Singtel broadband to Mac Air?

I do not have WIFI and I am using Singtel broadband all the times. Several attempts have been made o access to Internet by inserting the broadband into the USB port of Mac Air but failed to access to Internet. Do I need to set up, if so please email me the instruction or is there an additional cable I need to purchase in order to connect to boardband. Kindly advise. Thank you

Dose the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter use dynamic MAC address or one single unique MAC address?

I need to use my Macbook Air to access university ethernet network, since that need to register the MAC address to the university first, I want to know if this USB ethernet adapter is using one single MAC address all the time or generate a dynamic MAC address. Thanks!

Print to an HP5000DN via it's ethernet connection.

I have a MacBook Pro 17 that prints fine to the printer via the printers own IP address, but I want to print from the ethernet challenged Retina MBP 15. I tried using it on the already working MBP 17, but it didn't recognize the printer. Will it work? And do I need different settings when using the adapter versus the built-in ethernet?

Can you use multiple USB Ethernet Adapters connected to a USB hub to be able to support multiple IP interfaces?

I use my Mac as a network testing device and currently rely on being able to create multiple vlan devices over a single interface. If this can allow my MAC to have 5 real physical interfaces (en0 to en4) then this would be awesome.

Will this adapter continue working with the new MacBook Air 2012?

I have one of these. I bought it for my old Air. Apple promotes the Thunderbold to Ethernet adapter but no mention whether this is still supported in the new one.

I'd hate to lose the Thunderbold port for this as I need to use the VGA adapter AND the Ethernet adapter simultaneously.

Can this be used on a PowerBook G4?

One of the ethernet plug wire connectors (inside the plug-in port) is bent, so the ethernet cable does not connect up correctly (and there is no wireless in the work area). Can this adapter work on my PowerBook G4 so that I can get back my ethernet connection to the network? The description for this item indicates that it works on MacBooks (and MacBook Pros), but does it just require a USB 2.0 port?
