Got it! And that was the clue - you use eth0 for the WAN port, and that is probably the first stanza in /etc/config/network . For some reason I started with a config script that had eth1 as the WAN port, and since the other ports were bridged to it, the "ifconfig eth1 hw ..." command inside /lib/network/config.sh was silently failing with a SIOCSIFHWADDR error. After adding some echo statements and other instrumentation, I found it. If the Right Thing To Do is to use eth0 for the WAN and eth1 for the LAN and eth2 for the DMZ, then I will do the same. Thanks for providing a hint.
