iPad Ethernet Rig
Note: iOS 9.x adjusted the sensitivity to USB bus power and so some older hubs don't work any more.
We tested it with a new Belkin F4U073 and it worked.
Items Needed:
- iOS Device
- Powered USB Hub
- USB Ethernet Adapter
- USB A to USB B Cable or a USB A to USB A Cable (An A-A cable would be unusual, but will depend on the hub. Use the cable that came with the USB Hub)
- Lighting to USB Adapter
- Ethernet Switch/Router
Process: (In no specific order)
- Disable WiFi and cellular data on the iOS Device.
- Connect one end of the ethernet cable into a free port on the switch, and the other end into the ethernet port on the USB Ethernet Adapter.
- Connect the USB end of the adapter to any of the USB ports on the USB hub.
- Connect the USB A cable to the USB hub.
- Connect the power cable for the USB hub to the hub and plug the other end into a wall outlet.
- Connect the USB end of the Lighting to USB Adapter to the other end of the USB cable that came with your USB hub.
- Connect the Lightning end of the adapter into your iPad.

With the introduction of OS X 10.11 El Capitan the Disk Utility.app no longer offers the option to "Repair Disk Permissions".
With the introduction of System Integrity Protection (SIP), in theory this is no longer necessary.
