OK the links are set-up:

But still when I go into the BE>CaptureCards, they will only present
as adapter0/6 frontend0, I can type the smylink name in, and the card
is not recognized or opened. IIRC Bill Meek said the symlink name
would present while toggling through the adapter line, that's not my
experience.  Daryl
