Hi Linus
I understand the issue is unrelated, My point was for the beginner, the
bridging concept (br-lan) used in later versions of wrt, can cause
slight confusions.
Most of the howto's don't take this into account, and only refer to the
Plain eth0,eth1, or wlan0.
It really is not ideal, but once one has Batman running this way, the
light will come on!
My 2c.
