Hi All,
I'm trying to get additional info.
Hauke: per your latest response indicating the
changeset: https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/35597
This will not work for E4200v1.
I just dug a few things from the tomato source tree.
Line 36: http://repo.or.cz/w/tomato.git/blob/tomato-
RT:/release/src/router/shared/id.c
Shows much of the E4200 v1 board related identification
Also: http://repo.or.cz/w/tomato.git/blob/tomato-
RT:/release/src/router/rc/init.c
shows vlan[01]ports initializations settings, which do not match the patch you
mention.
I am not sure what else is needed to make sure the proper initializations are
in place for the switch to come up. Wifi (according to broadcom-wl) should
just work. However, I'm worried more about the switch.
Thanks,
Chirag

This list would have never been complete so now it is checked where the
CPU port is and if it is port 8, this port is used instead of port 5 in
the default switch configuration, see [0].

437 case MODEL_E4200:
438 dirty |= check_nv("vlan1ports", "0 1 2 3 8*");
439 dirty |= check_nv("vlan2ports", "4 8");
I've been using the same settings for the e3200 (port 4 is wan/internet port).
