Update to Openwrt 18.06 and no internet

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hi, I have a strange problem.
I am right using a home hub 5a as my main router, connected directly with a VSDL connection to TalkTalk. I had some trouble originally getting an internet connection after replacing the supplied (but rubbish router) with LEDE v17. After some googling I found out I needed to set a VLAN, and then it all started working.

So 10 months later, I decided to update to OpenWrt v18 and I bought a new HH5a pre-installed with Openwrt and proceeded to swap out my old router. However, I cannot get the internet working.
I backed up the config from my old hh5 and loaded it into the new one (having the IP address it allocated itself).
The modem connects but the router cannot get internet access (e.g. ping to 8.8.8.8 fails with network unreachable) . This was the same problem I had when first setting up the LEDE HH5, before I added the VLAN.
So I reset the router back to default and tried following my old notes. I end up with the following network config file. But it doesn't work. Am I missing something obvious here?

Yes,

TalkTalk uses DHCP protocol.

config dsl 'dsl'
option annex 'b'
option tone 'a'

config interface 'wan'
option ifname 'dsl0.101'
# option ifname 'ptm0.101' # for LEDE 17.01
option proto 'dhcp'

So just change ptm0.101 for the wan ifname to dsl0.101.

I found this as I was writing the post, but I thought I'd post anyway in case it helped someone!
