 +==== USB POWER ====
 +SX763 uses a DC/DC switching regulator for 5V USB power, and unfortunately the chip is disabled by OpenWRT and other unofficial firmware (as of april 2013).
 +The chip that provides 5V for USB has enable pin (number 7 to be exact), and the original firmware pulls the enable pin from 0.3V to 3.3V about two seconds before the relay makes a click sound. 
 +
 +According to datasheet, enable pin can be unconnected if we want the chip to auto-start, and that is exactly what we want. Therefore, we just need to disconnect the pin number 7 and SX763 will have 5V at USB connector all the time.
 +
 +Note: When sx76x support gets back to trunk, there will be usb power by default so this hack wont be needed.

 +
 +Another close-up is available at :[[http://pljusak.com/papuk/RSCN1314.JPG]]
 +
 +The good sides of this hack are: 1) if you break the pin on the chip no harm is done, and 2) there are no side-effects in possible overloading the other 5V regulator that is used if you bring the 5V from another DC/DC regulator, as in hack that follows.
 +
 +Previous version of 5V-USB hack follows:
 +----
 +
 +Here is example of added usb power (5.05V measured) over simple pin solder so devices can be recognized on boot.
 +You can even use WIFI dongles as from Attitude Adjustment 12.09-RC1 it works just fine.
 +USB Dongle tested and working: Edimax EW-7722UnD a/b/g/n - Tested in 40mhz HT mode. Max speed measured (TCP): 20mbit (dirty conditions).
 +Over USB hub you could add few more which makes this even a very good base station.
 +
 +On USB port - solder first pin from top.

 +
 +Please note that side-effects of this power mod are unknown.
 +(Probably there should be no 'ugly-usb-patch' added anymore, so it doesn't give power on already powered pin.)
