Missing eth2

[tokyoturnip]

I have been using Oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7-7b on my wl500gx for the longest time and never had any issues or reason to upgrade. However I recently bought a nintendo DS and wanted to leave the Wifi open without the need for an encyrption key. However to do so I would only feel safe if I was to restrict access to the admin webpage via an Iptables configuration, as well as restrict access from the wlan to any machines in the vlan. I planned on accomplishing that removing eth2 from br0 using the command brctl delif eth2. However my problem. No eth2 in ifconfig -a !!! I know there should be a eth2, because I can access the wlan with my nintendo DS and iPaq. I have read from some of the forum posts some older firmwares have a missing eth2. Therefore I upgraded to 1.9.2.7-7f today, however still no eth2. Where is my eth2? Help me find it. Ifconfig -a is below.

A secondary issue which is not as important, I see that sit0 (IP V6) is up even though I have ip v6 tunneling disabled. Will is hurt to down sit0? is there a service I can kill at startup so Ip v6 does not run?

Thank you in advance.

After working on the issue myself a little more. It appears that maybe eth1 is my wlan. However removing eth1 br0 from the bridge via brctl delif br0 eth1 leaves me without access to the internet. Any advance on removing eth1 (wlan) from br0 and still be able to connect to internet? Most import thing to me is separating the wlan from vlan and still be able to access the internet. maybe I need to create a new bridge? Iptables?

Thank you.
