Hm. I previously wrote:

But I think you're saying that won't work because you need to manually
set up the 3G device after a reboot?
So if you _don't_ want to make the changed device persistent across
reboots, I think you should modify /etc/config/network, which will be
automatically regenerated after reboot by /lib/fon/config.sh:
http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/browser/trunk/fon/fonbase/files/lib/fon/config.sh
I haven't actually tested this, but I think something along these lines
may work:
root@Fonera:~# ifdown wan
root@Fonera:~# uci set network.wan.ifname=eth1
root@Fonera:~# uci commit network
root@Fonera:~# ifup wan
This assumes you have your WAN connection normally configured for DHCP,
otherwise you might also need to set the "network.wan.proto" variable to
"dhcp".
Let me know if this helps!
