Adapters for wired ethernet to iOS devices...
New Apple adapter:
Apple MK0W2AM/A Lightning To USB Camera Adapter

You will also need this Apple Ethernet-to-USB adaptor:
Apple USB Ethernet Adapter (MC704LL/A)

Alternative: Rebotnix. Nice concept. More money. Longer wait...

I have now tested the new adapters on my iPad mini and it works very nice.
Using a charger into the adapter's lightning port allows you to have wired Ethernet while at the same time keeping your iOS device charged.

With that new adapter you can charge your iPad / iPhone while the ethernet is connected. Just throw it into a corner in Aircraft mode and wait for emails to come in without worrying about the battery, or about radiation 
Assuming you have a decent VOIP phone app like Google Voice or Hangouts, your phone calls and SMS can also come in the same way... without any radiation...
Here is a video explaining how to connect the adapters:

That white-colored RB-Connect adapter comes very close to the ideal connection. A Power-over-Ethernet feature to charge the iPad would be great. Great developments.

Ron, did you see if the Rebotnix product would allow PoE (power-over-ethernet) for concurrent charging and internet access?

No PoE. 
They provide two models of the adapter. The most expensive one has a power lightning connector so you can connect it to the "standard lightning power adapter". That is how it charges the iDevice while it is connected.

The new Apple adapter works with this inexpensive Cable Matters adapter!
$9.99 US
Cable Matters 202023 USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet Network Adapter (Black)
Link: http://a.co/bGWgBPr
$38.00 US
Apple MK0W2AM/A Lightning To USB Camera Adapter
Link: http://a.co/dpUBPeM
The important point is that you DON'T have to have a lightning power adapter plugged in for the Ethernet to work. This means you can use a light weight 20' Ethernet cable and have a lot of freedom of movement with this setup.
$10.47 US
Monoprice SlimRun Cat6 UTP Ethernet Patch Cable, 20ft
Link: http://a.co/7A0PW3f
I think this is better than using the Apple USB-to-Ethernet you WILL have to keep a lightning charging cable plugged in. And the Cable Matters adapter is $19 lower in price.

Just to clarify--does this mean that I still need the lightning to USB plug in addition to the ethernet to USB adaptor?
So it goes like this:
1. I plug the ethernet cable into a router/modem/internet source either at home or in a hotel.
2. Then, plug the ethernet cable into the ethernet-to-USB adaptor shown in your previous post.
3. Then, plug the lightning-to-USB camera adaptor in with the lightning end into my iPad.
Thanks,
Marysue
