   Advantages: You get to run wireless LAN cards, and you can start using   
   grown-up networking stuff like OpenSSH. Disadvantages: printing is   
   very likely to go bye-bye. Lucky for you, both of these statements are   
   based on hearsay only... :)   
      
   That said, somebody came up with a neat little tool that should rid you   
   of any reasons for hesitation - if in fact it works as advertised: check   
   out BONE_switch, http://www.bebits.com/app/3696
