I don't think so, no, what they're calling an "ethernet adapter" for ordinary consumers is just going to be the power over ethernet brick that goes to the IP68 rated outdoor cable. They're calling it that because ordinary non technical end users don't know what serious PoE is. The 1st gen starlink terminal has a big beefy (above 802.3bt!) PoE injector that comes with it. Resembles a gaming laptop power supply. The network connection, DHCP lease, default route on a starlink terminal comes from the antenna unit itself, not the indoor router. You can plug any ordinary 1000BaseT 1500 MTU DHCP client into a starlink PoE injector and get a default route outbound through the cgnat. The router that comes with them is just some very basic openwrt based thing. In the 2nd gen it looks like what they might have done is combined the router and PoE injector into one unit, the 1000BaseT dongle shown in the new accessories guide is quite small. I do hope that it lets the user disable the wifi entirely if they have their own setup, to avoid interference. The first gen dish the cable isn't detachable at the dish, it's permanently fixed, so they've solved that by using some new connector that they probably think is better than 8P8C/RJ45.
