[OpenWrt-Users] wrt54gl internal interface br0 instead of vlan0?

Hi,
On a new wrtg54l (v1.1), which I want to use as firewall/router, (for
a start, without wlan which I'll add later eventually), I experience
the following:
The list in  http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Configuration#NetworkInterfaceNames
tells that the internal interface of the said device is vlan0.

Then, the webinterface says, that the internal interface has the IP
192.168.1.1. So, I'd expect that the interface vlan0 should have this
ip. Instead of this, the interface vlan0 has no IP assigned, but it is
attached to the bridge br0, together with eth1, and br0 has the IP
192.168.1.1, in nvram i see this value: lan_ifname=br0

My questions about this:
- is this a wrong info in the wiki, is the setup of the machine at
boot time wrong, or do I just understand both of them wrong / have
wrong expectations?
- how can I make eth1 not being attached to br0 at boot time? I don't
want the eth1 be on the same bridge as my internal interfaces. I know
I could explicitly remove it with some custom start script, but I
don't want it to be started like that in the first place, and I want
to do it "the right way" and better understand what I am doing.
