I just tried an experiment, and much to my surprise and delight, it worked.
I hooked up an Apple USB to Ethernet adapter (which I use with my original MacBook Air) to the N10 via a micro USB to OTG USB adapter, turned off the N10's WiFi, and the N10 connected just fine via the adapter to my wired Ethernet.
There is no extra software or driver needed on the N10. There are no N10 settings whatsoever for wired Ethernet that I could find, and my DHCP server on the wired Ethernet just gave the N10 its IP and gateway and DNS automatically. Turn off the N10 WiFi and connect the wired Ethernet, and it works just as expected. Unplug the wired connection and turn on the N10 WiFi, and the WiFi connection works just as expected.
No interference at all with StickMountPro which I have installed, (though StickMount isn't working reliably for me at all on the N10).
For those of you who don't happen to have an extra Apple USB to Ethernet adapter hanging around, there is a MUCH MUCH cheaper adapter available from BobjGear which is reported to work great with the Nexus10 (and many other Android tablets as well). The BobjGear store on Amazon has it here for about $17. The main BobjGear web site mentions that it works with the N10, as does a message BobJ left on another forum, even though the Amazon ad doesn't appear to be updated to reflect that it works with the N10 yet. If you don't already have a micro USB to OTG adapter, BobjGear sells them too, also cheaply, along with hdmi adapters, and you can get them for a buck off if you buy at the same time as the Ethernet adapter. Note that not only am I not a BobjGear shill, I haven't even purchased any BobjGear stuff since I already had everything I needed, but $17 is less than (Apple's) $29...
