1043ND Add WAN Port to Switch?

Hello,
have 1.5.5 on my 1043ND now. Is it possible to add the WAN Port to the Switch? Found a openwrt manual 'dumb ap' that points only to the WNDR3700. There is a changed line in /etc/config/network
option ifname 'eth0.1 eth0'
Are these the same interface names in my 1043nd?
Bye
Hanselan

Ended up in heavy problems, switch config bombed out. Good luck that i can ssh over wifi for repair.
Next question: Is it possible to have a wireless ap like before but bridged or dumb lan? With settings like in your link i end up in a forced wifi repeater, but no basic ap functionality.

Are you setting up the 1043nd as a secondary ap to extend wireless coverage?

That's quite normal when settings get messed up or do not take properly. All's well so long as it doesn't end up in a brick!

The 1043nd is the only AP in my network, but it hangs behind a cablerouter that make nat and dhcp for all the network. So gargoyle should only bridge the lan but not the wireless. We miss a third button "AP / wired bridge" in the config.
Now the wan port from switch is unusable

Thank you, this is working here too. But will this handcraftet config be hurt, when changing something in the webgui?

YES, I have been trying to configure the same thing for the last few days.
If I make ANY network configuration changes via the web UI, such as changing the WIFI password, ALL my Ethernet ports becomes inaccessible.
So, make sure you do NOT change any network configurations via the web UI.
I have tried and tested OpenWRT backfire for exactly the same configuration. Seems like gargoyle does NOT support VLAN in the web UI, even though backfire does. What I mean is you can change any network configuration such as VLAN on backfire and it will not screw up the network configuration like gargoyle does.. In fact, backfire will have a switch tab for the VLAN configuration after added the VLAN to the network configurations.
I wonder why gargoyle developer didn't take VLAN into account...
