I'm working on a project that will incorporate the FT232RL chip from FTDI.

In the datasheet, they recommend a ferrite bead on the USB power supply line
to the chip.

My question is: with the USB connector soldered to the PCB, and the chip
soldered to the PCB, how do I get the bead in there?

I apologize if this is a naive question; my lack of electronics schooling
may be showing, but I figure I have two choices:

1) Add a wire jumper to the PCB and thread the bead on the jumper
2) This is a hobby board, not one for production. I don't need no stinkin'
bead

Are either of these options the correct answer? What other answers are there
that I haven't thought of?

Thanks,

-Matt
