I had no idea most of them came with an adapter either, good to know. Had to buy one for my MBA and it's only 10/100, so copying large files over my network is kinda slow.
Yeah, I think physically it is just to big to fit on a proper ultrabook. And yeah, the adapters are almost always 10/100 since they are USB2.0 based, so Gigabit would be a waste. We'd need USB3.0 adapters to really take advantage of anything over 100Mb/s, and I don't think USB3.0 network adapters even exist yet...
