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, ...
