"Almost" Gigabit Ethernet
Until someone comes up with a Thunderbolt-Gigabit-Ethernet Adapter, this one is the fastest, what you can get from USB 2. No, you won't get true Gigabit-Ethernet speed although the adapter advertises itself as a Gigabit-Ethernet port to your switch. The bottleneck is the USB port. I don't blame Plugeable for this. But they should make it clearer, that you won't get real Gigabit-Ethernet speed.
What you get is 300-400 Mbit/s. And that is still 3-4 times faster, than Apples USB-Ethernet adapter and 10 times faster, than the real WLAN throughput of your Mac Book Air. Works perfectly with Lion after installing the latest driver.
Would recommend this as a standard accessory for every Mac Book Air owner.

Product descriptions
Description : Add a network interface to your computer via USB. Common uses include adding wired network support to Chromebooks and Android tablets, improving speeds vs. 10/100 adapters and wireless networks, replacing a broken internal network card, adding a separately routable network interface, and transferring files peer-to-peer over Ethernet. It is not a solution for connecting a USB device like a printer to a network. PerformancePlug into any USB 2.0 laptop or desktop currently limited to 10/100 Ethernet, and benefit from faster transfers on your Gigabit ethernet network. USB 2.0 supports theoretical speeds up to 480Mbs. In practice, most machines will see up to a doubling of network speed by moving from 100Mbs Fast Ethernet to 1000Mbs Gigabit ethernet via USB. Also works on 10/100 ethernet networks at their native speeds. Drivers Microsoft signed 32/64-bit drivers for Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, ME, and Win98SE. Not compatible with ARM-based Windows (MS Surface). Mac OS X 10.6+ 32/64-bit requ...
