I was staring at the dmesg output you sent me and it is odd because the even numbered VFs that go missing are there when you set their MAC addresses. See output below the dotted line after my reply. Ah, I think I confused you. The VFs for the first 2 ports (ie., the first 14 VFs) are seen fine; I only showed the VFs for the second 2 ports -- which are missing the even number. So, in summary I am missing 7 VFs all associated with the even numbers on the last ports of a quad port card. David
