Perhaps my logic is a bit wonky - I have a 2 Powerconnect 5316M switches 
and on the 1st blade I want to be able to have 4 separate interfaces 
e.g. 1 for lan A, another for lan B, 1 for diginet and 1 for DSL. What I 
gathered is in order to do this I need to install iANS which would need 
a kernel build tree?
