There's actually a driver included already in OS2008 for devices based on the Realtek 8150 chipset, I'm getting a card based on that chipset later today, and will report my findings.

According to the datasheet, the 8150 uses an average current of 110mA, and with the additional components of the adapter (LEDs, etc), I doubt the N8x0 will be able to power it directly.

Wish me luck!
