I have one sitting on the desk right in front of me. It is a Sunix 
brand, model 1080N, with a NEC chip inside. It has three USB 2 ports and 
a jack for power. The power jack accepts a 3 mm outside diameter, 1.5 mm 
inside diameter coaxial barrel plug, with the positive terminal in the 
center. It says it wants 5 VDC at 1000 mA. It did not come with a power 
adapter, nor did any other Cardbus card that I have, but the 
specifications are right on the bottom of the card so it would be easy 
to find one. Several of the other Cardbus cards that I have include a 
similar power jack. Just look closely at the photos of a card you are 
considering and if you see a small round hole near the USB ports then 
the card probably does accept external power, though it will be up to 
you to find a suitable power adapter.
