Network Interface Card. I had a laptop here a few weeks ago that I 
needed to connect to my network and it didn't have an ethernet port, but 
it did have USB. I went to my friendly neighbourhood computer shop and 
bought a USB network card, installed the drivers and such, and away I 
went. The usb network card cost $59.
