Would an USB-to-Ethernet adapter work connected to a USB clockport board (RapidRoad, Subway)? The first are inexpensive, the second are more expensive and harder to find, but in return you get USB ports.

Fingers crossed there will be a proper EMU68 wired network solution for the PiStorm and Pi

You can use Musashi in the meantime for big DLs. You can even have a dual booting card, with both Musashi and Emu68 in the same card booting from the same WB, I posted the HOW-TO to the PiStorm wiki some time ago:

https://github.com/captain-amygdala/pistorm/wiki/Musashi-and-Emu68-on-the-same-%C2%B5SD,-booting-from-the-same-drive

I even made a small video about it.

That way you can just reboot into Musashi when you need Internet, and back to Emu68 when finished, you'll find all things you dl'ed just there, because you are using the very same drive. Easy-peasy… 😉
