new mac book air and gigabyte ethernet

Hi All, is it possible to connect a newer mac book air that just has 2 lightning ports, nothing else, to a network via an ethernet cable. The only adapter cables I can find have either thunderbolt/ethernet or lightning USB. I want a ethernet to lightning but do these newer mac airs even support ethernet connections?


thanks
