Re: Secondary Computer on Driver Station
If you are using Windows 7 on the driver station, you can try bridging the USB-to-Ethernet to the Ethernet adapter (Start > type "View Network Connections", ctrl+click both adapters, Right Click > Bridge Connections). You would then connect the USB-to-Ethernet adapter to the second computer and the driver station computer to the primary Ethernet. This is at least how to use a bridge on one computer. I'm actually currently sharing my WiFi via this method with a coworker that does not have WiFi.

Again, verify the second computer and this method is legal using the Q&A.
