You can download the specifics from:
http://www.marvell.com/products/embedded_processors/developer/kirkwood/sheevaplug.jsp

I downloaded the 'Documentation Package' ZIP from this page. There is
a lot of detailed info in 'Sheevaplug-devkit Reference Design.pdf'

As far as I can tell, the device doesn't use powerline signalling
(there's no mention of it). There isn't a bluetooth adapter, either.

It mentions on the website that the dev kit comes with a universal
power adapter. From the aforementioned PDF, "AC power requirement is
110V/220V"

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
James
