Help for busted router

Hi everyone,

I am stuck with Linksys WRT54G ver.2 that was cooked by what seems to be an inappropriate wall adapter (polarity).

Luckily, the only damage seems to be to the power supply. It actually exploded. I have the the skills and the tools to replace it, but I just can't read the chip number in order to get a replacement.

It is UC1, a power device with a soldered heat sink to one end and five legs at the other. It is located (when the antennas are towards you) mid-board to the extreme right.

Since I gather that some of you have already opened the beast, once more to find that part number for me would be of great help.

Thanks in advance,
