Hi, I've noticed that the DIR-505 has a very weird network setup: (1) The kernel sets up eth0 and eth1; the DIR-505 has only one ethernet port though, so eth0 is always dead. /etc/config/network is setup to only use eth1. (2) The single status LED is currently abused as ethernet traffic indicator. This is quite confusing if you use the device as a repeater or mesh node without ethernet, as the LED is just off all the time. I'd prefer to just keep it the status LED by default, the stock firmware doesn't have an ethernet indicator either.
Would patches for these issues be accepted? Especially issue (1) obviously leads to migration issues (and it's like this since BB), as making the single LAN port eth0 will leave failsafe mode as the only way to access the device with eth1 in /etc/config/network. I'd like to see this fixed, but I could understand if you see fixing this as a greater hassle than keeping it broken... Regards, Matthias
