I've finally done something similar for a Duo:

This is using an E-machines EtherDock + IOGear GWU627 wifi-ethernet bridge, again using an ADB-USB adapter for power. The GWU627 seems right on the edge of maximum current available from the duo when running on battery, at least when configured for 802.11n 2.4GHz WPA2. With any luck, 802.11g or even b might reduce the power draw just a tad. FWIW, this is a 270c (was a 280c, swapped the logic board to a 270c because 68882's are cool) with a PowerMonster CF board.

I haven't added it to my configuration program yet, it's on the TODO list...
