Yes, thank you.

Perhaps for the built-in or included part. I ran a simple search for
"USB-Ethernet adapter" and the first hit was a $10 part from Amazon.
Readily available if not included.

PS: The laptop I bought was an LG 17Z90N - a higher-end consumer
machine (on sale for $1G, down from $1500 IIRC), not what I would
consider a "premium executive machine." With some upgrades, maybe, but
not as-is or as-was.
