Any USB/Ethernet controller suggestions?

What do you mean when you say "regulated power" is this something I should be worried about when searching for a power supply? If so is there some way I can identify weather it's regulated or not?

I'm planning on buying this power supply above, but is there any specs that I should be cautious about that may be dangerous to my uc300eth-5lpt which requires an external 5vdc power supply (and a minimum of 0.5 amps)??? The power supply meets the 5 volt max, and has more than enough amps.

Thanks in advance, I truly appreciate it!!!

That is a bit overkill, just a 2A power supply will do. Something like this https://www.powersuppliesonline.co.u...er-supply.html

As Clive says - a bit of overkill. In theory it should work, and the argument that the UC300ETH (or whatever) will only draw the current that it requires is correct, however, big PSUs like this are sometimes less well regulated when substantially under utilised. Chances are that it will work, but something closer to the requirement of the UC300ETH (and any BOB, limit switch, relays, etc) would be sensible. 2A would be my target for something like this.
