Some badly placed shavings or a couple years of abuse and the machine loses a ton of its utility.
Our classmate's ethernet port died, and we tried three different usb-ethernet converters. One didn't work at all, one had serious lag, and the other worked, but occasionally dropped out every minute or so. The FTA's just told us to use a different laptop.

There may be certain sets of usb-ethernet adapters that work with the right drivers, but it's not too easy to find.
