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
