For those trying to play along at home: I've updated the patch so it =
actually compiles correctly, both as modules as well as compiled into =
the kernel.

You're welcome!

Yup.

For the TL-WR1043ND, no PHY should be attached to arge0, and the speed =
etc. should be hardwired to 1000/fdx, since that's what the switch MAC =
arge0 is connected to is wired to.

We could add code to change arge0 and the switch configuration, but I =
see little benefit in that.
