I just got a 3TB time capsule and am trying to backup my MacBook Pro. The initial process is very slow, but my MacBook doesn't have an Ethernet port. How can I connect the time capsule to the MacBook Pro to make the initial backup go more quickly?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
A very good investment to make would be......
Apple USB Ethernet Adapter - Apple Store for Business (U.S.)
Why Apple chose to leave off the most important port in networking is a mystery.

The Thunderbolt one is now <$10 more..
I would go the thunderbolt one anyday.. for the small amount more.
I cannot link you to the US store.. but it is $35 here.. against $29 for USB one. That is $6 well spent.
LaPastenague is correct. If your Mac has a Thunderbolt connection, that would be the way to go.
I think I am right in saying any Mac without ethernet must have a thunderbolt.. They deleted the one to get thinner profiles.. and considered thunderbolt a suitable replacement.
