The ethernet adapter using that connector absolutely does not mean it is a USB device. Note that that's a microUSB-B connector, which is not generally used for a host controller. For all we know, the connection between the ethernet adapter and the device is completely proprietary. I'd be willing to bet it's a USB device and they just used a very strange connector setup, but we certainly don't know that just based on the connector.

- simoncion 11y agoGiven that the Ethernet adapter is 100mbit -rather than 1gbit- ethernet, it's a good bet that the port is USB 2.0. If we cheat a little, and look at Chromecast rooting instructions [0] we get a strong indication that that port is totally a USB 2.0 port. :) [0] http://cord-cutters.wonderhowto.com/how-to/root-your-chromecast-0157253/ http://cord-cutters.wonderhowto.com/how-to/root-your-chromec...
