I recently purchased a RouterBoard 493G-based system. This board has a
USB port that does not provide 5V power. I have been struggling to get
this board to work with any USB device. I built a 2.6.39.4 OpenWrt kernel
with EHCI, OHCI, USB storage, and USB printer support. I have attached
a printer (with external power), a hard drive (with external power),
and two different powered USB hubs attached to a thumb drive. None of
these devices seem to be recognized by the kernel. /proc/bus/usb/devices
consistently contains:

T:  Bus=02 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=12   MxCh= 2
B:  Alloc=  0/900 us ( 0%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=1d6b ProdID=0001 Rev= 2.06
S:  Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.39.4 ohci_hcd
S:  Product=Atheros AR71xx built-in OHCI controller
S:  SerialNumber=ar71xx-ohci
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=  0mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   2 Ivl=255ms

T:  Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#=  1 Spd=480  MxCh= 2
B:  Alloc=  0/800 us ( 0%), #Int=  0, #Iso=  0
D:  Ver= 2.00 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=1d6b ProdID=0002 Rev= 2.06
S:  Manufacturer=Linux 2.6.39.4 ehci_hcd
S:  Product=Atheros AR71xx built-in EHCI controller
S:  SerialNumber=ar71xx-ehci
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=e0 MxPwr=  0mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=09(hub  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=hub
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   4 Ivl=256ms

I have tried the newest revision of OpenWrt trunk and also r28423,
"linux: ar71xx: add support for Mikrotik Routerboard RB493G". (The
commiter of r28423 reported that a USB thumb drive worked for him when
connected via a powered hub.)

I am starting to think my board has a bad USB interface. Does anyone have
any suggestions? Is anyone using the RB493G with a USB device attached?

Is there anything I need in the kernel other than:

kmod-usb-ohci
kmod-usb-printer
kmod-usb-storage
kmod-usb2

and the items these selections pull in?
