Hi Igor, Many thanks for the reply. I will try the link you forwarded and see how I get on. Thanks again,

I have just downloaded the 4.6.2 kernel version of xenial and get the lan1 to lan6 interfaces appear, but I can not seem to configure them. As mentioned previously, in /var/log/kern.log i see this: mvneta f1030000.ethernet eth1: [0]: couldn't create dsa switch instance (error -22) Which i guess is part of the problem. Are there any clues as to what I need to do to get these interfaces configured/working? According to the link in the in the post below: "Interfaces are presented as lan1-lan6, such that normal network control tools like ip, ifconfig, and properly configured ifup/ifdown work as expected" But, I can not seem to do anything with these interfaces lan1 to lan6? Any pointers would be very helpful. Cheers, Nigel.
