TaKe a look at the Asus 500 Deluxe router (Same specs , and broadcomm
chip) but it has the USB routed to a plug in the back.

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.

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.
