I just did and the port 6-10 problem is resolved! (I am actually home now
and my laptop is on battery not the charger so maybe I'm fooling myself, but
that seems far fetched.)
Thanks guys.
Oh, and BTW, now I have the LCD menu in Winbox (but still no master port
setting).
Could Mikrotik really be shipping routers with FW that has half the ports
nonfunctional? That seem extreme even for them.

6.34.2 is there on the download page for ARM under current. I would try
that.

I was trying to be conservative and go with "bugfix" not "current". I was
going to use these for a business install tomorrow, the only 2011 I have
on hand is a desktop model with WiFi, but I guess I will take that with
just in case.
It's kind of annoying that you have to do some things from the CLI because
they aren't supported or are broken in Winbox and Webmin. Like switch
master port (missing in Winbox, somewhat broken in Webmin), or configuring
the LCD panel. From what I see on the forums, these are not fixed even in
the latest beta.

Do you mean 6.34.2? That's the current release for ARM. You could also
try 6.35-rc12. There's nothing in any changelogs about it, but MikroTik
is notorious for fixing/breaking stuff and not telling anybody.

If I plug into any of ports 6-10, the interface keeps going
up/down/up/down every few seconds. Ports 1-5 no problems. I am
confused, supposedly both switch groups use the same model of switch
chip.
Just to make sure I didn't have a config problem or a bad router, I took
another one out of the box, plugged into port 7, same thing. I got this
with my laptop but I also tried a nanostation I had sitting here and got
the same thing, the laptop is gigabit, the nanostation is 10/100. Also
didn't make any difference with my laptop if I forced one end or the
other to 100FDX. Both sides report the link going down.
Has anyone else seen this or seen something on the forums about it? This
seems very ungood. So instead of a 2011 with ports 6-10 limited to
10/100, I get ports 6-10 unusable.
