Dongle

Dongle has two meanings. The first means a type of security key which is plugged into a USB port on a computer or laptop and allows only the authorised owner of the dongle to use the computer. The second is an Ethernet card adaptor for a laptop. They are sued because an Ethernet cable is usually too big to fit into a network interface card.
