Note that the Dlink DWL-900AP+ is different from the DWL-900 (DWL-900AP). They're different product versions and likely use different chips inside, particularily because only the + version supports 22mbps. Info:

He mentions that the power regulator IC inside his Dlink DWL-900AP+ box is: "Power is regulated by AIC1563CN Supply voltage: 30V; versatile DC/DC converter. Specs say it takes 3-30 volts in 1.5 amp out with no heat sink" That suggests a 12v input would be okay, however it also looks like he's doing POE over at least 110 feet of CAT5 (on pic shows him 110' in the air).
