Not sure about buffalo III but I have the buffalo II, and I have it hooked up to the I2C header power which seems to be internally connected to the DVCC trident output.

Either approach (I2C header or Trident fed from main supply) will work fine. On the B-III, the DVCC Trident does not power the I2C header, as it does on the B-II.
