Mikrotik RB433 LAN ports not used on initial config

[adamsteele]

The Routerboard RB433 has 3 ethernet ports. One WAN port (eth0) and a pair of LAN ports (eth1). When Commotion is initially installed it only sets up eth0 to be used (binding br-lan to eth0's MAC).

To get the LAN ports working you must first add option ifname 'eth1' to /etc/config/networking under the config interface 'lan' section.
Next you must delete the br-lan interface and set it back up using eth1:

ifconfig br-lan down
brctl delbr br-lan
brctl addbr br-lan
brctl addif br-lan eth1
ifconfig br-lan 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

After that eth0 (WAN) should be free to gateway as needed (assuming it is configured correctly).

I haven't looked through how Commotion initially configures things so I don't have anything pull-able but this should be a start.

@jheretic - Can you take a look at this? Would it be possible to roll a custom 1.1 image for the 433 for me to test?

@andygunn sure, I won't have time to tackle that today, but I added it to my todo list.

@jheretic awesome, thanks.
