Actually regardless whether it's 1.8 or 1.9, you can still use it. Living proof here. Will post up a tutorial with sreenshots and files when I get the time. Hopefully this weekend.
I'm very interested if you manage to get the 1043ND WAN port working for OpenWRT, and how 
Unless your method is downgrading to older stock firmware with older bootloader, that is very risky as I've read somewhere that you cannot flash OpenWRT straight to stock firmware with bootloader in it, will permanently brick it.

With the WR1043ND router, there is a catch: the stock firmware is obtained from the OEM: http://www.tplink.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-WR1043ND
•in case the file name of this firmware file does not contain the word "boot" in it, you can simply revert back to original firmware
•in case the file name of this firmware file does contain the word "boot" in it, you need to cut off parts of the image file before flashing it:
An example of an image file with the word "boot" in it is wr1043nv1_en_3_9_17_up_boot(091118).bin.
Cut the first 0x20200 (that is 131,584 = 257*512) Bytes from original firmware:
dd if=orig.bin of=tplink.bin skip=257 bs=512
