Using this hub from dealextreme:

Get some crimp pins from a site like this:

http://www.tmbelectronics.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=26_28_30&products_id=194

snip the plugs off the non-power input plug, and 1 of the output sockets, and crimp on the pins, then connect like so to the 14 pin connectors on the main board and the USB board.

Looking down the stora (with it the right way up!) And looking at the top of the USB board with the USB port away from you.

I am trying to identify the other pins as well, feel free to label them....

if you have a proper crimp tool for the pins, it is possible to coax the existing pins out of the connector and replace them.

Obviously if you break something doing this, then don't come crying to me. Or Netgear. Or anyone.
