Solution Someone Somewhere Jul 19, 2013 Nope. Ethernet is relatively low bandwidth and high lag. You'd need Thunderbolt, or possibly USB3.0. Somebody might commercialise an mPCIe card with a ePCIe connector on it though.

Somebody might commercialise an mPCIe card with a ePCIe connector on it though. Where can I get that USB 3.0 to pcie adapter? Cause I am quite sure the ultrabook I saw only had mini hdmi/Ethernet and USB 3.0 Upvote 0 Downvote
