Cool !

You should be able to use the arge1 interface (WAN port) by setting the correct phy mask on hints (0x10 for arge1 on WNDR3700).

Looks like the arge0 is connected to a RTL8366 gigabit switch which, at least, has a public available datasheet: http://realtek.info/pdf/rtl8366_8369_datasheet_1-1.pdf
