uh... am i reading this right - that this router design could be up to 20 watts?? 4x USB2 @ 500mA (10W), 1x RTL8366 (3W) and an EOMA68 CPU Card (4W). That's.... a hell of a lot.
anyone any experience at dealing with that much power on small boards (4 amp @ 5V) ?
LM1084? any guidance on PCB layout anyone aware of?

Hey guys... why not just use a 5v 4a external laptop-style brick...? Specify a 5.5x2.1mm barrel plug for the input connector, slap a jack down on the MEB (or whatever other carrier board we want) and you're good to go. Replacements, at least in the US, are $10ish on eBay when the time comes ;) Guessing the factory direct option would be even cheaper, so the initial cost is a brick and a barrel jack... not too much, then!
