Citation needed on the first part. 2220 used a USB to ethernet adapter for the 2014 season with no significant issues, but I haven't heard of anyone else using one. I'll definitely agree the the second part though-- putting all that through a single port is asking for problems. Some badly placed shavings or a couple years of abuse and the machine loses a ton of its utility.
