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!
