Most TB = devices can daisy-chain depending on the chip they used. Obviously an = ethernet adaptor would need to be the end of the chain, or on the new = Retina MBP it could be on a second port.

One = thing I haven't seen mentioned much is that you can daisy-chain two = Apple Thunderbolt displays and have three monitors, including the MBP, = running at once.
