If the iPad had a USB port and it would let me replace the battery, I would consider it. But stuff like that is way too much to ask of Apple. Apple's attitude is amazing... they make Microsoft seem like an Open Systems company. I stay away from Apple products.

The ipheth device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 8.2. AUTHORS
The ipheth driver was written by Hans Petter Selasky <hselasky@FreeBSD.org>. BUGS
Some devices may need to be manually configured to use an alternative configuration with the usbconfig(8) utility. A command similar to usbconfig -u 1 -a 2 set_config 3 may be required if the device is not recognised automatically by ipheth after it is connected. BSD
