The stock firmware will supposedly email out logs per the screenshot on this

Not sure I am an "old hand", but I have installed OpenWRT on a half dozen 
1043s. 
The instructions on the Wiki are decent and reference the correct firmware: 
http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr1043nd#installation
Essentially, download the 
http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-factory.bin
 file, go to "Firmware upgrade" on the current website, point it to the 
openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-factory.bin file you downloaded 
and hit "upgrade"

In case the above links don't work:
Wiki page for the 1043:

Attitude Adjustment download link to flash from factory:
