Is it possible to add a USB interface to the WRT54G board (a Linksys broadband router)?
I found the following schematics ...
Thanks.

You should be able to add a USB interface to anything, even a trailer hitch. What is your question anyway?
Depends a lot as to whether you are doing it out of need or for the fun of it.
The US Robotics 5461 is built with similar hardware and runs open source Linux-based firmware so you could get inside and play. Complete with USB. Bought mine supposedly for $15 from CompUSA after rebates. Maybe all the rebates will actually be honored? Some have arrived, others have not.
The easiest way is to add an ethernet to USB converter. (Not the typical USB to ethernet adapter.) These are typically marketed to connect USB printers to a network.
(PS to DK: The WRT54 is also Linux based, and the source and tools are available on the web)
But spending the $15 on a router that already has all the interfaces makes a lot of sense.
