 +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.

Here is example of added usb power (5.05V measured) over simple pin solder so devices can be recognized on boot. Here is example of added usb power (5.05V measured) over simple pin solder so devices can be recognized on boot.

 +(Probably there should be no 'ugly-usb-patch' added anymore, so it doesn't give power on already powered pin.)
