Attaching plastic to wood.

throw down a glob of silicone.  not positive on the two materials, but if it don't work, 2 seconds with a scraper and you're back to start.

Also, if you go the Gorilla glue route, make sure you clamp it down.  The stuff expands as it cures, so your placement, which was perfect before you left it to cure, will be royally stuffed when you come back.  PROMISE!

Also, why not try the "metal strap/bracket" on the back (smaller) side and a dab of hot glue on the front?

RoboG2:
Try "Thistithat".  It's a website that gives you suggestions on what is best to use to glue two things of different materials together.

When used on devices like that, I have never been much of a fan of velcro. It would certainly do the trick, but any time you plugged, or unplugged, there would be a little movement. I am probably a bit (no probably about it really) insane, but that would bug the heck out of me. :)

It looks like the outer casing is just snapped together, without the use of screws, so I personally would just pop the little sucker open and screw the bottom piece to the wood, then snap it back together.

Though if you are looking for a more permanant mount, then I'd go with the thistothat recommendation.

I used foam tape to hold mine in place.
It's been there for years, and never come loose on me.
