I've just been playing with a "Pegasus II" type USB -> ethernet dongle on the E3. It's quite neat having an internet connection on it! I've been browsing the web using the "links" browser :)
Yeah, I had w3m going under Debian with an RTL8150-based ethernet widget. It worked surprisingly well. I also have a couple of wireless ethernet widgets, but they require fiddly firmware to make work and I haven't tried.
...I'm actually thinking that one of the best uses for my E3 is as a terminal for my house server, which is an ARM-based NSLU2 running Debian. Both devices have non-level-shifted serial ports, although I might need an inverter. Given that I have two low-end ARM devices, I'm also wondering whether networking them together with OpenMosix might actually achieve anything, other than hack value...
