Ben, thanks for the astute reply.
Yes, with the auxiliary power adapter connected, the
Belkin Cardbus-USB adapter works with the USB-Ethernet
adapter, the mouse and the Altec-Lansing headset.
The headset uses a C-Media USB adapter. My mistake
was to assume that low power devices don't require
the auxiliary power.
Also USB on the OrangeCombo USB 2.0/FireWire for
Notebooks works just as well. I didn't test Firewire
on that.
Is there any possibility for the software to detect
the inadequate power supply and give a more indicative
report?
Thanks, ... Peter E.
