O.K. I see. As far as I understand, the switching will be made internally in the 175D, so that the CPU won't be involved (offloaded), but I still have two separate network devices i.e. eth0 and eth1, representing two independent subnets? >> As the driver is found under phy drivers, it doesn't create separate >> network devices for WAN and LAN?

Unfortunately the issue wasn't resolved and this discussion ended on 7.12.2013.
