after some fight with a huawei usb modem, I managed to have it seen by the fonera as eth1.
now, I would like to inform the fonera that it can disregard eth0 and use eth1 instead. I prefer having to do it from the command line, without altering configuration files in the fonera, is it possible? my fear with altering configuration files is that if I do so and I have to reboot the fonera, I will first need to log into it to do the steps which are necessary for making it see the modem as eth1, and at that moment the fonera is already configured for using the not yet existing device. the couple of times I have removed eth0.2 and replaced it with eth1 -and rebooted the fonera-, the fonera would then not appear with its private wifi signal. thanks for any further help!
