The size should be ok for the standard case, and it says the right
things about voltage. Unfortunately the manual for net5501 isn't
available and the details on the website don't mention how much
power can be drawn. Even if it did, you'd also need to know the
power consumption of other devices (e.g. MiniPCI, hard drive if
you have one).
