So you have a 10.7 amd64 DVD available.

The netinst image is for people with access to the internet.

Which ethernet device? You don't have one in your universe.
Now I realise why you wrote ethernet in quotation marks—you're
pretending it's an ethernet connection.

Why would there be? If you have a real Ethernet device, bought or
supplied by your real ISP, you just plug a Cat5 cable into it.

. You have a 10.7 amd64 DVD on a stick,

. You have a USB port on the laptop,

. Install it;

. It will work: "install from image of DVD1        works."

. Upgrade to 10.8 like everyone else does.

. Then ascertain from *your* own *running* system what it requires
  for connectivity *before* you try to install something from scratch.
  It's called "bootstrapping": at each stage you need a little bit
  of a system that *works* to get you to the next stage.

For someone who doesn't use WiFi, that gizmo looks like a dud.
3/4/5G devices with ethernet do appear to exist, but the ones I've
seen are expensive. They throw in things like a firewall and so on.
But they're not a mass market, so it's hardly surprising they cost.

Cheers,
David.
