I can't speak as to an internal card, but I just bought a couple of  
CyberPower USB 2.0 powered 4 port hubs from Wal-Mart.  At about $20 a  
pop, they work very well.  Of course it will operate without the  
power brick plugged in, but I find so many devices don't work this  
way that I just always use mine plugged in.  HTH
