that works too 
just don't use luci, it's broken for some reason. probably because of our crazy switch setup with master/slave.
Any explanation to why the vlans don't have names?
Wiki says that it should look something like:
config 'switch_vlan' 'eth0_3'
option 'device' 'eth0'
option 'vlan' '3'
option 'ports' '3t 4t'
I know the wiki isn't always 100% accurate but its seldom wrong about naming.
Could that be why Luci isn't parsing it?
hmm, that's good a question, i have this problem as well. need to check this. thanks.

My VLAN setup works, VLAN DHCP client is getting IP from external DHCP server.
VLAN 1:
vid: 1
ports: 0t 4 6
VLAN 2:
vid: 2
ports: 3 5t
VLAN 3:
vid: 3

VLAN 4:
vid: 4

Also, adding the name made things much easier. The VLAN device was in the list ready to go.
config switch_vlan
option name 'eth2.3'
option device 'switch0'
option vlan '3'
option ports '1 5t'
config switch_vlan
option name 'eth2.4'
option device 'switch0'
option vlan '4'
option ports '2 5t'
I am rebooting it now. Lets see what happens.

DHCP leaked again.
I am ready for the next step.
If I recall correctly:
1, Backup.
2, Mess with things.
3, Hope for the best.
ok, can i upload your uboot env here then ?
please do backup of nand then first and transfer the backups to your PC of course
Sure.
I just need to get nanddump working to make a backup and also see if I can back it up to some place which doesn't get overwritten.
Ah, perhaps that is a package I should have added before I built.
just compile the package and install, you don't have to rebuilt the whole image again. advantages of NAND
You underestimate my lack of knowledge but willingness to learn.
Don't get me wrong, I can do it. But I have never done it 
Let me see what's what - internet has everything.
compiling goes like this:
make V=sc -j$(($(nproc)+1)) package/mtd-utils/compile
edit1: nand-utils -> mtd-utils 
That worked.
However I have no idea where the files not are.
I assumed they were in the make directory and the filename was mtd-utils-2.1.2.tar.bz2, but that produced an error Segmentation fault.
Haha, I have no idea what I'm doing
i'm trying to figure it out myself 
i don't use very often. wiki seems to be a bit outdated wrt building a single package.
try to add it via menuconfig (nand-utils) as a module (M), and then just rebuild the image, this should built the package.
Sure, I'll be back in a Flash... so to say.
nah, just copy the built ipkg per ssh to your device and use opkg install <path to package on file system>
all built packages can be found here: bin/targets/alpine/generic/packages
ls -l bin/targets/alpine/generic/packages/nand-utils_2.1.2-1_arm_cortex-a15_neon-vfpv4.ipk

It's on it's way.
Compiling.
Btw, any possibility I can contribute on compiling all available packages for this device or is that done by some central server in a land far-far away? I have about 20 cores & 180GB RAM on a server that are mostly idle which I could use for this task.
currently we have nothing at all where to build or upload built packages and factory images. i think not everyone is able to compile it. i don't mind building it myself, i need anyways for development but for regular users is of course impractical to build it every time after update.
i'm not asking anyone to do this, but i would welcome it if you want to offer something like this. it would probably help many other users if not me 
I have no issues doing this, it would be the least I could do for OpenWRT community.
I mean if a config could be built with all packages then its just a matter of time per release.
Any idea where this could be put? I know there is an official place for factory and sysupgrade images but I have no idea how to get a release inside there.
It we get the switch stuff working then ill put another Dropbox link here.
Done:
I'm not very familiar with that, the problem is this is an unofficial hw and not sure whether OpenWRT will accept our packages and releases.
You can proceed with dumping of your NAND partitions.
All partitions are listed here: cat /proc/mtd. Just dump the first 4 partitions, the others contain just OpenWRT images.
I'll upload the uboot env in the meantime.
Just trying to figure out how to get the dump out of the router.
I have a USB Flash drive in it, but I cant recall how to mount stuff
Edit: I cant post any more reply messages. Forum has limited me.
I am going to try the UBoot stuff and if it fails/works I wont be able to post a reply until after 14 hours according the the rules.

Put this into a file, copy the file to the device and then run this:
fw_setenv --script <path to the file>
Then do NOT reboot yet.
Verify that the env can be read with fw_printenv.
