I did som repeated testing, rebooting the box multiple times, and three times or so I got arswitch0 attached, but traffic did not flow through it. And it's a bit hard to do some debugging with no datasheet. OpenWrt sources could give some hints, but not as easy for me. Also, when arswitch0 attached, arswitch1 did not. Maybe it is a coincidence, but I think there is some interdepence now and this should be changed. > Unfortunately I don't have the time to figure it out.

To me it looks like that's the real problem and source of all other troubles. I will keep trying to find anything, but probability to find the correct way is not that much given current availability of docs. Unfortunatelly, sending you any kind of RB2011 is out of my reach.
