As an alternative, have you considered an 'Ethernet-over-Power' solution.  
There seems to be quite a few of these around at the moment and the one I 
have works OK, provided you don't try and go through a RCD circuit breaker or 
similar.

The main issue is that they generally give around 2-5Mbps (but if you are just 
basically trying to get to the Internet you probably wouldn't notice this).

Cheers
