[SOLVED] RJ45 to USB

Can anyone shed light on this - can an RJ45 (ethernet port) to USB female adapter work to power a USB wireless card? Has anyone ever tried this? I know the adapter is being sold. My computer does not have a USB port, but it does have an RJ45 port. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

It will not. There is an option, something that I use here. The Belkin Network USB Hub.
