We have an existing LAN and DHCP server - my goal is to provide wifi
access to it using OpenWrt and a couple WRT54GL wireless routers

We don't actually need routers - just access points - so I want all
ethernet ports and the wifi interface to be in one VLAN. Wifi clients
will use our existing DHCP server

I didn't find specific instructions online, so I made this change to the
default /etc/config/network,
http://www.sfu.ca/~jdbates/tmp/openwrt/201006270/patch

I dropped all "config switch*" stanzas, dropped the "wan" interface
stanza, and reconfigured the "lan" interface stanza with ifname "eth0"
and "proto dhcp" (this way the access point also gets its IP from our
existing DHCP server)

It seems to be working great - is this the best way to accomplish what I
describe?

I'm running Backfire (10.03) brcm47xx and it seems to be working great -
thanks OpenWrt!
