Based on USB 2.0, the SMC2208USB/ETH extends the transfer speed of earlier USB Fast Ethernet adapters to true 10/100Mbps connectivity.

Installation and use are simplified with USB's out-of-the-box installation for connecting computer peripherals, without having to open the case of your computer or set IRQs. It provides a standard RJ-45 connector for a quick and simple method of connecting to an Ethernet 10 Mbps or Fast Ethernet 100 Mbps LAN. The built-in USB 2.0 cable connects directly to your computer. Power for the SMC2208USB/ETH is provided directly by the USB bus, eliminating the need for an external power adapter. The SMC2208USB/ETH also supports USB's energy-saving suspend-and-resume functions to minimize power consumption, which is especially useful for notebook users.

I bought this to use with TiVo. It worked great out of the box. Sturdy and the jack won't break easily, like it does with many other models.

This review is from: SMC Networks SMC2208USB/ETH 10/100 Mbps USB Ethernet Adapter (Personal Computers)

This was pretty much just a plug n play replacement for a TiVo branded wireless USB adapter that had frequent disconnects and drop outs. Even sitting next to each other the adapter would fail and the TiVo would reboot. I decided try get an adapter to make a direct link to my LAN. This adapter took over the configed ip addr and other tcp settings so it immediatly worked and connected to my pc for the TiVo desktop pc for show transfers. It was a totally flawless upgrade and transition.

This USB-ethernet adapter worked well for my router-to-TIVO series 2 connection. Not all adapters work, so I checked the TIVO site ([...]). The SMC2208 was listed as "not tested but reported to work," and indeed it did.
