Actually I am not stucked still, but I expect I surely will

I am going to use it as a router connected to the dsl modem, i.e.
1. assign a static ip to the WRT in the range of 192.168.1.0/24 but
different from the one of DSL modem
2. disable dhcp and routing on the WRT
3. connect the internet to the DSL modem and connect the WRT to the
modem using the eth ports (not the internet port on the WRT)
4. connect my debian box to the WRT and use dhcpclient to obtain a
valid ip address tunnelled to the WRT by the DSL modem
