As we all know is the powersupply of the Net4801 not really capable of
feeding diskdrive, CF and Wifi miniPCI all together at the same time. I've
tried an adapter with slightly more voltage and that helped a bit but was
not as relieable as I could wish. Now I had another sneaky plan: to feed the
diskdrive via a separate regulator (7805). I cut both pin 41 and 42 in the
short interconnect (this is logic and power Vcc 5V) but I only get a
flashing disk LED. 

I tapped the input voltage for the 7805 directly from the power connector
(solder side PCB) aasuming that the GND of the power adapter is the GND for
the whole circuit. 

Any one (Henrik? Soeren?) willing to shed some light here?

Tnx
