 Re: Power on Ethernet PoE
No. For PoE an external splitter of Power and LAN is needed.

 Re: Power on Ethernet PoE
Wishlist idea:
Make a version of this that can *run* off of PoE. it's wattage requirement is low enough.

 Re: Power on Ethernet PoE
The problem is not power requirements, but the hardware requirements. The board and BIOS do not support it.

 Re: Power on Ethernet PoE
The BIOS has nothing to do with it - receiving PoE only requires the right hardware. (Being a PoE supplier is a bit harder, but we're not talking about that)
The hardware to do it is physically quite large, so that must be the reason it was omitted. That said, the space required isn't excessive, and I think it probably would fit if you sacrifice the possibility of built-in WiFi.
There are quite a few PoE splitter devices available, such as the D-Link DWL-P50 - guide price of around 20 GBP.
