Hello.
For me there is no confusion here.
Motu AVB's cards serie is not - officially - supported by MOTU for
Gnu/Linux. Even without the «Linux» stamp on it from MOTU it's the more
advanced card you can control without headache under Gnu/Linux.
The feature you talk about is for proprietary Operating system with
Motu's drivers - with some limitations.
Either you bought the wrong cards, or using the wrong operating system
for your need - it's only a guess.
The AVB switch *is* your solution.
Or you can try, the kernel module something like : CONFIG_USB_NET_* and
try different devices under to see if your log show something when you
plug any of your MOTU cards...
Or you can try something like this :

sorry don't know the name in English...
Let us know the result....
All the best.
