Hi,
Ethernet's Advantages:
1) Liberates 1 (scarce?) USB port.
2) Allows Hardware ROUTER/Switch to be installed between Modem and PC for
small home network (sharing connection) and/or sharing printer in same.

Addendum:
Hardware router==>Hardware Firewall also.

Ethernet...
Uses fewer resources *and* it frees up a USB port!

Addendum 2:

Hardware firewall is NAT (Natural Address Translation). Limited as
firewalls go but still better than the software firewalls.
