I think this misses the OP's point, which was that he wanted something
faster than 10 MBPS Ethernet. USB 1.1 doesn't really qualify.

The fastest way to get those files off is probably yank the hard disk
from the laptop and install it in another machine, or connect it to
another machine through USB2/Firewire/etc.

The OP did not mention transfer speed being a key issue and I don't
know why it would be. The system only has a 1 GB hard drive so 10
Mbps would let you copy the entire drive in either direction in about
20 minutes. I assumed he was interested in USB and/or wireless for
reasons of convenience, not speed.
